It’s great that the evidence base for SureStart is finally emerging, showing the importance of universal access to early years support - equally, the impact of having lost many such preventative services during the years of austerity has been devastating for families and society

Hi. I'm new here. Latest book for all interested in social justice in social work

I think this is a great (open access) paper by my colleagues on Reconceptualising ‘safeguarding’ for young people experiencing extra-familial risks and harms during transition to adulthood

Through my #PhDResearch on women's experiences of #economicabuse in #Scotland, the research participants & I co-developed the post-separation economic abuse wheel. The wheel captures the women's experiences of economic abuse after separating. It's available for download here: shorturl.at/5dtMP

I've just joined BlueSky and am hoping to reconnect with others who have recently jumped ship. So, if you were on #academic or #socialwork twitter/x or are interested in #socialcare, #innovation, #adolescentsafeguarding, do get in touch! You also might be interested in theinnovateproject.co.uk
