Love the focus on leadership and values and how in leading The Family Safeguarding model, leaders can consistently bring our own core values into practice and organisations. Authentic leadership comes from the heart and enable relationships and love to grow #SFPCLearningEvent

Recruitment of Social Workers is our biggest challenge at the moment. There is a national shortage. If you are thinking about returning to social work, we’d love to hear from you.

[Sam Bushby @SamBushby3]

@BusseyCarl The speakers were fabulous. Well done Carl and your team

[Sam Bushby @SamBushby3]

Really interesting listening to Carlene Firmin at the Safeguarding Adolescents Conference. Fabulous speaker

Great event launching the Graded Care Profile in Surrey as we continue to strengthen our practice around neglect
