@danjonesnewport I just think if you feel connected to the people around you the rest is so much easier, I know you wont get on with everyone but if you generally feel a sense of belonging and you matter the tough stuff is way more manageable and that’s why I’ve stayed in Newport 😊
@danjonesnewport Relationships and connections, if these are in the main positive right through from children, their parents, your team, snr management and other professionals it’s deffo a game changer although some decent IT would be awesome 😂
A thread on #StarHobson and Social Work and #ChildProtection
On one level the public response of horror at the nature of Star’s death & apparent failures by social workers, police and medics to protect her is understandable 1/

How to work with people who don’t want a service is extremely difficult & yet it is under-researched in #socialwork. Here’s our new research paper on ‘hostile relationships’ in SW practice. And it’s free! @BeddoeE @Akali65 @TDisney85 @LisaWarwick_

Until furloughed workers can pay 2/3 for their food 2/3 for their rent 2/3 for their mortgage 2/3 for their utility bills & 2/3 for all other bills
Then 2/3 is NOT enough!
It’s called the basic minimum wage because it’s the basic living wage. 2/3rds means abject abject poverty
@WelshGasDoc One of the nicest people I am lucky enough to know, ultimate respect and admiration for him and don’t ever think he hasn’t got your best interests at the forefront of his mind and planning

A fellow adoptive parent received this end of year report from their school. Their child is in Year 1! A child who is dealing w so much from their early life experiences reduced to this. A parent’s efforts potentially crushed. How can this be right or productibe? I am furious.
How does social work in 1970’s compare to SW now? Ruth @RulizMar reflects on changes during her career, which began at the tender age of 21 driving round in her ford escort providing help for families. A fascinating insight into how practice has evolved
