Everyone must try to visit Bradford in Yorkshire to celebrate the #cityofculture it is absolutely stunning

Such a brilliant evening in Bradford for the launch of the uk.jkp.com/products/the.... It’s such a brilliant book written by such an inspiring group of social workers. @robmitch92.bsky.social @elaineljames.bsky.social

So excited to be able to attend this book launch. Such a great book, such an inspiring team of writers, encouraging active, rights-based social work 👇 #socialworkcatsandrocketscience #socialwork #HumanRights

Look what’s arrived! Really looking forward to reading this- just read the last chapter first because we can be great at saying the right things… This is going to be a helpful book! www.routledge.com/The-Anti-Rac... Discount code 25SMA1 @tanyamoore.bsky.social #AntiRacism

“I can’t sleep, I’m so scared.” My report in tomorrow’s Guardian on the disability benefit cuts “domino effect”: losing PIP will see unpaid carers lose their benefits too - pulling away two main strands of a family’s income at once. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Life of a Principal Social Worker: Saturday morning up early and to Asda. Nearly ready for #WorldSocialWorkDay #WSWD25 @socialworkengland.bsky.social @basw-uk.bsky.social

‘When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”’Fred Rogers.

This is such a brilliant post and a huge amount of fantastically useful information. 👇 #socialcare #socialwork #InternationalWheelchairDay

Feels good to have a Chief Social Worker back in DHSC and spending the day listening to and engaging with the Adults PSW Network. #SocialWork

Great to be at WECIL’s Community Event today thinking about choice, control and doing things differently. Heard about www.accesscharity.org.uk/accessava which provides free legal information about adult social care and now human rights with the brilliant BIHR.

Absolutely wonderful award for an absolute legend of a Social Worker. Congratulations @elaineljames.bsky.social 👏👏👏

A really exciting opportunity to work in as a social worker to support people with mental health needs to live their best lives: careers.southglos.gov.uk/jobs/1286?la... If you're strengths-based, believe in recovery and are passionate about upholding people's rights, we'd love to hear from you!

This, I’m sure, will be very very good 👇 👩🏽‍🦼🐈🚀

Listening to this has started my day right. youtu.be/nZoHuoFQyrI

“As someone who relies on the state for my survival, I have a healthy distrust of giving it any more power over my life than it already has. Though some people want the right to die, many of us are still fighting for the right to exist.” Must read by Liz Carr: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At #NCASC24 Strong argument for being led by people though strengths-based practice from Amy Hurst of the South West Regional Principal Social Worker Network “Spend longer building relationships with people” enables the best and most creative practice

The focus on transitions is so welcome this year at #ncasc24. Delighted to see the adults *and* children’s Principal Social Workers talking whole family - great role-modelling of the kind of boundary-spanning leadership we need.

At #ncasc24 Amanda Threfall shares her caring journey with her late partner David. In Covid, a small direct payment that she used for online music lessons, made the difference between managing, or falling into crisis. We need to listen & be led by what’s important to people. @lynromeo.bsky.social

Yesterday we spoke at #NCASC24 about working within the Care Act during times of financial pressure. 🧵🪡 Our argument was that focusing on wellbeing is rights-based & promotes citizenship; relational & strengths-based practice is evidence-based as most effective; we can think we’re most effective…

Such a great initiative happening in Bristol and South Gloucestershire #Hoppiness 🍺🍻🍺

So proud to celebrate our amazing #Socialwork degree apprentices as they graduated today. Brilliant people are entering our profession- the future is bright!!

Great and inspiring day today at the South West Direct Payment Network conference. Great speakers including @Martin Walker from @TLAP and Direct Payment employer, Sam, who told us why direct payments give him the right choice, control and flexibility to live the life he wants: youtu.be/Fbx0eib7SzM

We had our Local Authority CQC inspection recently- we haven’t yet had any feedback, but wanted to share these reflections hopefully to reassure my fellow Principal Social Workers and other leaders in adult social care 👇

So this is where you all are!! #Xodus
