Dear social worker,
For you it may be just another assessment
But for a family it could life-defining
Treat it with the care and respect it deserves
You’re delving into people’s most vulnerable + painful moments
Please communicate with compassion and empathy always.

great event, lots of speakers I really enjoyed especially those from the Peer Advocate Support Network - co-production footprint has become a lot more evident in most areas of social work but remain’s a fairly faint impression in the world of children’s safeguarding
