@ClarePatrick97 Sometimes l feel we are not much recognized in our society and yet we offer a lot to the community.

@ClarePatrick97 @BASW_UK @HullSWAcademy You are amazing Clare. Your contributions in class are fantastic. I feel so lucky to you in my cohort xx

Mothers day for me is more about reflecting on my own journey of becoming a mum. I empathise, that for some, today can be a tough day. For those who are struggling today, I hope the day is kind to you 💓 💖

For Professional Social Work I wrote my latest article talking about the imbalances of power within the criminal justice system that perpetuate inequalities and injustices.

"There is no consideration that defendents are in fact products of their environments."

@DeborahCruddace I visited a setting on my first placement, only for a few hours. I truly hope I have my 2nd placement there. It just felt the right place for me .

Social workers, when starting university did you always know the service you wanted to work in ? Or did you change your mind a few times ? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts #socialwork #socialworkstudents

[Amanda Key @Amandakey_hull]

@saljjones @saljjones agree I think it's best to remain open minded. So many options. My passion and pull to social work was loss in the physical sense but, now I m learning loss can be much more than physical for the famlies we will be supporting 😞

"It's a vicious circle... I don't understand why they say, 'You need to do X Y Z,' and that's not available."

Expert witness assessments in care proceedings are setting women up to fail, by recommending specialist therapy that isn't accessible on the NHS.

We know how important it is for women working with Pause Hull to make contact with their children. @PauseOrg is working for change. Pause’s report, Time To Deliver, explores experiences of Letterbox Contact and makes recommendations: https://t.co/onam8V4bhG. #TimeToDeliver

@SiobhanMaclean It was so emotional. Beautifully delivered .

[Amanda Key @Amandakey_hull]

This was my first week back at uni after placement. Great to see my cohort and to hear their experiences. Now, let the reading and research commence . @SocialWorkHull1

[Amanda Key @Amandakey_hull]

First placement completed. Its been a journey of self discovery . I feel stronger and more passionate then ever before. #socialwork

[Amanda Key @Amandakey_hull]

@DrLukeC TA are the ears and eyes of the classroom !!!

[Amanda Key @Amandakey_hull]

The atmosphere was different today. It seemed as if everyone is reflecting on the loss of the Queen. The loss of the queen who, firstly, was a mother and a grandmother, makes you reflect on your own personal losses. Let's be mindfull to everyone's feelings today

[Claire Rutherford @ClaireRhullcc]
