I got an A for my final assessment for 3rd year. So still sitting with straight As right through from first year. How??

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@SingleDadSW @BASW_UK @foodiscare You were great!!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

When I was 17 I was told I’d never be able to be a social worker. Today I finished 3rd year with glowing comments from my placement team. 1 more year and I graduate. My disability doesn’t define me but it’s a part of me I love! Thanks to everyone at @ScotsSW for all the help!!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

On campus at @UniWestScotland Not been here since before covid! The Atrium looks really lovely! Helping to film a video to encourage people to apply to become social workers. Brilliant day for it!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

I’m not on here much but was so proud to be involved with @ScotsSW campaign at @ScotParl this week.

[SASW @ScotsSW]

One in four social workers leave within the first 6 years of practice.

I’m still really gutted about Paul O’Grady. I’m not religious but I’m so hoping he’s being licked to bits by all the many, many dogs in a happy place. People who are kind to dogs deserve to go on forever surrounded by them!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@DavetheCareBear Love you right back. And left front too!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@SiobhanMaclean @swactionuk @SW_student_con Oh that’s really kind. Fingers crossed!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

Social work friends - Weird question but has anyone seen a reflection model which looks like parts of a bicycle? I know i've seen it somewhere but cant find it. I'm wanting to use it to write a reflective account as it was so logical. Kicking myself I didnt save it!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@swactionuk @SW_student_con @SiobhanMaclean I’m thinking it was there too but can’t find it! I remember thinking so much easier than Gibbs!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@gillianhodge3 Will do! I’m gutted I didn’t save it months ago as it just made so much sense!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@gillianhodge3 No it’s an actual bike. Like the pedals and seat etc all form parts of the model

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

I’m not a fan of Sturgeon but if certain people want to see how to exit positions with class and dignity she just led a class. Very well done!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

Massive thanks to @SDSScot for what has been a fantastic conference. Full of learning and hope but also asking tough questions which we really need to answer. Still a couple of hours left but its been amazing so far!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

Well done to my lovely friend @DavetheCareBear

[Campaign Collective @CampaignsHQ]

Congratulations to @SWstudentsunite @SWU_UK and @ScotsSW for getting a petition on social work student bursaries heard by MSPs today!

Great that politicians from across parties agreed to take action to put pressure on @scotgov to take action.

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

@LothianCIL @SDSScot Thats really kind. Thank you so much!

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

Just gave my presentation for @SDSScot . Slightly nerve wracking! But seemingly I sounded ok. I've been told the presentation has been recorded so if anyone (social work friends i'm thinking) would be interested in seeing me rant for about half an hour let me know! #SDSNV23

[Sarah @SWSarahA]

Oh hey its me
