This will be a really interesting panel discussion about age assessment, happening next week @BaobabSurvivors. We recommend London-based social workers get themselves a ticket, it's free, tickets available here:

We're relieved to hear that the scheduled Home Office flight to Rwanda has been CANCELLED. Solidarity with all those threatened with this appalling action and all those who acted to resist

[SW Without Borders @SocialWorkersWB]

We’re finally here! The week of resistance! Join our campaign #GuessMyAge on Wednesday!

Last day of my first placement. I can't believe I finally made it. I couldn't have done it without my PE, PS and academic tutor ❤ #uob

My first direct observation went so well! Currently reflecting on my habit of always focusing on what I didn't do well instead of realising how far I've come in my journey so far. So grateful to my placement educator and lecturers who are supporting me on this journey ❤

The Nationality and Borders Bill was brought back to the Lords yesterday, resulting in the rejection of various proposals.

The Government must now recognise that this bill is not going to work.

Absolutely shocking levels of deprivation & impoverishment by the state causing bed poverty for children and families ⁦@DCSLeeds⁩ https://t.co/BgSankEa1O

This 13 minute film is well worth a little time out of your busy day. It's vital that we continue to listen to the voices of those who are being oppressed by a system that is constructed to oppress them. The suggestions they make on how they would make things better are powerful.

This is a devastating and important insight into the experiences of unaccompanied children as they navigate the hostile environment, including the care system. Food for thought on the impact social workers have. Thank you @CCoMstudy and young researchers
