Thank you ⁦@DavidJ_Brindle⁩ ⁦@guardian⁩ for recognising the contribution social workers are making, not everyone who works for ⁦@PauseOrg⁩ is SWer, but everyone who works here does incredible work in the most difficult circumstances https://t.co/geJIjVwFDg

So pleased that this robust independent evaluation shows us what we already know - pause works. Thank you to all the women who took part, in pause and in this evaluation. The power of postive relationships never ceases to amaze me ...

[Pause @PauseOrg]

The evaluation of Pause shows the difference a relationship makes and that a trauma-informed, relationship-based programme can have a positive impact on women and their children’s lives https://t.co/dkXANfmizx #DifferenceARelationshipMakes

@KellyKellymcox From there if you want ‘big tourist’ attractions either tower bridge & Tower of London or St. Paul’s which is by the millennium bridge and brings you out opposite the tate modern ? You could jump on a Thames clipper to tower bridge - Email or call if you want some more info ..

@PauseOrg I heard from a practice lead today what a difference pause has made to a woman’s life: she asked her practitioner hold her hand during a difficult appointment. Big or small, all changes are significant and need to be celebrated ....

[PauseEllen @PauseEllen]

Homeward bound from @PauseOrg induction with @haringeycouncil & @CumbriaCC , new practitioner commented they felt ‘cared for by pause’, this is hugely important: in order to be compassionate and caring with woman, practitioners need to experience this and know they are valued

In NE Lincs @PauseOrg @NELCouncil for launch of their film &talking importance of language, as a social worker I know I used these terms in reports, but one of the powers of pause and seeing things through the eyes ofwomen is making professionals think differently.. me included

So pleased that Andrew MCFarlene, president of family division took time to come to @PauseOrg @lb_southwark this morning, talking with& hearing from women with lived experience about how the court process ...powerful stories ‘the judgment is given &you lose all your support..’
