Was delighted to read this review of Insiders Outsiders which is such an important book. All the hidden narrative series shows the experiences of social workers in what is supposedly an anti oppressive profession!https://t.co/eRWcrJ9h7C

coming soon, for employers / educators of social work. throughout your team will be people with neuro diverse brain types. This will influence their work and their learning...influence, not hinder. Have you considered how you will support them to be the absolute best?
Employers of social workers will soon be able to sign up to a new pledge to celebrate neurodiversity in the profession. Find out from Deb Solomon, a social worker from Derbyshire, about what will be in the pledge. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek@ND_SWgroup@CampaignsHQ@BASW_UK

Today is world social work day. 4 years ago, we all started to work from home and my whole working world changed. Today and tomorrow I'm with social workers in Cornwall face to face. I am so looking forward to it. Enjoy the day. It's a great day to reflect and revisit our core.
SWU is proud to have supported the Wales @MASWBC2020 bursary campaign alongside @BASW_Cymru which achieved a brilliant result for students, and we are also working with @ScotsSW to support the current @SWstudentsunite bursary campaign in Scotland: https://t.co/UaJLfEJBCG
