1 of best things I heard today, backed by a YP: children saying “I hate Sws” is natural thing. Who didn’t say that to parents when a teen!

@lemnsissay “social workers are the most important ppl in institution of gov.”Local gov should assess itself on how it treats its children

On #wswd18, we are delighted to announce @LordKPatel as the first Chair of Social Work England – a vital step forward in establishing the regulator. As a former social worker, he knows only too well the impact that high quality social work can have. https://t.co/fjOkFXtl0M

On #wswd18, we’re asking everyone to take a moment to #thankasocialworker – be it your boss, a colleague, or a social worker you’ve worked with. Together we can give children and family social workers the recognition they deserve.

Raises some interesting questions about how able/confident/supported SWs feel about explaining care to children https://t.co/7CDLIfJB6b

[Become @BecomeCharity]

Great work from @CoramVoice but hard to hear that half of four to seven year-olds felt the reasons why they were in care had not been fully explained to them. Children need support understanding care and what it means for them https://t.co/EJQ9ZC9TsS
