on weakening children's social care point where privatisation is the only option? This is no longer a question we can sit back and ignore. More from me on this in yesterday's @guardian#KeepCaringto18 https://t.co/LRLEuaStnh
And that's a wrap! 🌱 👏

@andydsmith7 The redactions are ridiculous. Firstly it's your life and you can usually fill it in and also nothing should be written you can't see as an adult. Needs looking into to revise this process..
have you had social workers involved in your life and are now training to be a social worker yourself? would you benefit from having a mentor who is a qualified social worker? DM us with your name and email address and we’ll get back to you with more info.
RT please
My whole family would be heartbroken if someone stole our dog. Staggered the @Conservatives voted against creating a new specific offence to tackle pet theft tonight. We should be working cross-party to stop this appalling crime. #PolicingBill
Excellent piece from Ray Jones. I would expect any chair of such a wide ranging review to have a similar amount of experience. Hard to have confidence in @JoshMacAlister due to his lack of experience.
Ive been re-reading the original Frontline and Think Ahead proposal reports today (cause I am a sadist). The elitist and exclusionary language is really sickening. Whatever your thoughts about where these organisations are today, their foundations are far from social work values.
This article was due to appear in BASW's 'Professional Social Work' magazine - it is a polemic about the government's children's services review. The editor has just told me he had to 'pull it' because BASW were 'twitchy' and worried about 'trashing relationships'!?
