Weekly Social Work Links - Issue 99
19th November 2023
Introduction
A reminder for any social workers based in England that renewals and CPD needs to be completed by 30 November. While I’ve dropped my ‘awareness’ calendar section, the last week was Interfaith Week, and I’m fortunate enough to be involved in some interfaith work locally. I won’t write at length about it here because this is a newsletter of links rather than personal reflections but it is a reminder that, especially at the most difficult times, to remember what binds us together rather than what pushes us apart.
Have a good week and I am still planning a few changes, not least a change in name, for the 100th issue so open to suggestions/feedback. Do share with colleagues and encourage people to sign up!
