Weekly Social Work Links - Issue 91
10th September
Introduction
As I have a busy weekend, it’s a bit of a shorter version of the newsletter today but as we head back to September (unusually warm though it is) there’s a ‘back to school’ feel. My thoughts are very much with the people in Morocco - suffering an earthquake in the early hours on the 9 September and here is a link to donate if you can.
As always welcome any feedback and comments and wishing all those who celebrate at this time of year, (it may only be me - to be fair) a Happy New Year!
