@SWBookGroup @AMLTaylor66 @LaurenStrong_ noticing the opportunity to develop and listen is never a given. Sharing stories is always profound. Thank you for putting your faith in us this evening @_LisaCherry

@SWBookGroup @AMLTaylor66 @LaurenStrong_ the courage to reflect is such a gift to all of us... 'wisdom only comes through reflection' as Jim G explained. Thank you @_LisaCherry for giving us so much tonight

[Mark Fraser @MarkFras35]

@AMLTaylor66 @_LisaCherry @routledgebooks @gardnerres So important recognising moments as they happen. There were times in practice so profound that light itself seemed to bend. Other times it was so light it was as if gravity had paused and I'd float away if I didn't grip something solid. Only path is recognising the moments.

@_LisaCherry @routledgebooks @gardnerres Just to note - the reflection sections where completely grounding. I mentioned them to Lauren & Mark yesterday…I was sitting in our lounge Sunday early morning - the light was peaking in through a gap in the blinds - ‘there’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light get in…’

[Dr Amanda ML Taylor-Beswick #digicritical @AMLTaylor66]

Bringing 'Street Wisdom' onto campus with students on a beautiful late summer afternoon. Great model which takes our personal questions out into natural and built environments. #SocialWorkEd #CumbriaUni @AMLTaylor66 @LaurenStrong_ #streetwisdom

[UoC Social Work @UoCSocialWork]

Carlisle has a great cultural heritage. Social Work is contemporary. Exciting to work with our new students exploring current issues while also experiencing the beauty of Carlisle Cathedral Fratry. #SocialWorkEd #cumbriauni

[UoC Social Work @UoCSocialWork]

Great days with our very welcome new group of BA+MA social work students. Lovely to be with talented people investing their future into such a vital profession. Today with SW alumni exploring success #SocialWorkEd @CumbriaUni @UoCAlum @AMLTaylor66 @LaurenStrong_ @MattSmi76651718

[UoC Social Work @UoCSocialWork]

So important to remember Ukraine independence day today. Social justice is vital on lots of levels, in lots of places - including at home in the Learning Gateway. All of us have a contribution towards making the world a place of peace and equality for everyone. #UoC #SocialWorkEd

[UoC Social Work @UoCSocialWork]

Really valuable resource from @pshuttle3 ... thanks for sharing this Paul

Great idea ...an event in a nature reserve! We're evolving Green Social Work to understand how our behaviours at work have to be environmentally aware. Particularly in Cumbria where rural social work is key @SWLancs let's collaborate @LaurenStrong_
