Spending my Saturday morning reading through this research about caseloads in Scotland. Does anyone know if there is equivalent research in England? Caseloads of 15 seems much more manageable #SafeSocialWork #SWCaseloads

@Starrfold @TheSims Does it have to be a house or could it be a business or something?

[BASW Norfolk @NorfolkBASW]

Lovely discussion today in #BASWReads thanks to those that came. Next months topic was chosen by members who attended the session today... Technology and #SocialWork

Are you 16-25? Are you able to spend a few minutes helping research the impact of the care system on young adults?

The aim of this project is to explore experiences of being #adopted, #fostered and/or in the #care system.

Memory is great and all, but have you ever tried experiencing things for the first time, every time, because you forgot you’ve already seen this movie, read this book, dined at this restaurant, visited this country?

It’s unacceptable that over 1 in 4 children in the UK are living in poverty. ❎

BASW is joining with others to challenge this injustice.

Read about the campaign, including a powerful call to action from an @EndChildPoverty Youth Ambassador ⬇️

Well that was incredible. The first of our series of online educational courses focused on ADHD and the input and perspectives of the community just blew my mind.

I'm looking forward to coming to Scotland tomorrow and spending the day in Glasgow. I will be giving a presentation at @MedicaCPD Trauma Conference on Wednesday in Glasgow. I'm looking forward to speaking in person. Hopefully we will see you there. 🙏😁🙏

DID is caused by #trauma so significant that the integrative capacity of the brain is overwhelmed. All of its symptoms make sense, even though they are confusing and distressing. Find out more on our course: https://t.co/Xf3wRa9X4A

[BASW Norfolk @NorfolkBASW]

We are hoping to discuss how we work with people who have different cultures but also our international social workers who bring their own cultures and how this impacts practice. Looking forward to a lively discussion about this! Hope you can join us too!

Listening to Theo Brennan-Hulme’s mother, Esther, on @BBCNorfolk talking about the need for universities should have a legal duty of care to students who are struggling with their mental health to prevent suicide. It is time things changed. #preciouslives 1/

Trauma doesn’t just affect the mind and the emotions. It profoundly affects the brain and the body too. Often ‘the body remembers’ what the mind cannot.

We've raised all these issues happening to CCE families.

It's not just Herefordshire but a national problem of -ve cultures & mindsets.

If we really value families' perspectives & experiences, let's have a panel response/report for all areas. It will illuminate a golden thread.

[Christian Kerr @SWConcern]

Timely! As the final (FINAL!) typeset proofs are in!

No turning back now!

'During the period, Frontline received £679k (2021: £77k) of pro bono consultancy support from The Boston Consulting Group.'

That's quite an increase - 900%.

What, exactly, is this pro bono support and how does advantage Frontline?
