@ZoeWill19468321 Loved being part of the huddle last week, thank you for having me! You guys are smashing it - with a great week to match! 🌟

This week has been a good’un. Interesting discussions within our MCA huddle (which still seem to be a hit!), lovely feedback from a family i have been working with, CPD uploaded and to top off a good week today I received a mortgage offer for my first home 🏡🎉

@ZoeWill19468321 This sounds fab! Will need to catch up with you to hear more about it!

Today me and a colleague hosted our teams first ‘MCA huddle’, a safe space to reflect, discuss, challenge and think creatively about how we apply the principles and support individuals decision making. I think it was a hit! looking forward to hosting these monthly 😊

Thank you so much to @FlipGeddes from @socialworkeng for your time and patience this afternoon! Brought lots of great ideas and reassurance to many #SocialWorkers within GCC for their #CPD today! 🌈

@CommunityCare @SiobhanMaclean @LouiseDownes8 @researchIP @VanessaHodge @CCInform1 Hello! I've really enjoyed listening to the podcasts you've put up and there's definitely so many resources on CC Inform to support practitioners during these times. Thank you for including the wellbeing guide, I will read this today!

@AileenocSW @SiobhanMaclean @LouiseDownes8 @researchIP @VanessaHodge Hi Aileen - we've had podcast episodes on self-care & remote supervision which might help? spreaker.com/show/learn-on-…. If you have access to @CCInform1 there are lots of resources on there, or there's this free wellbeing guide communitycare.co.uk/2020/04/09/sup…

Can the lovely social work community share any suggestions and/or resources on how social workers can minimise the risk of vicarious trauma when working from home please? 🌈 Thank you! @SiobhanMaclean @LouiseDownes8 @researchIP @CommunityCare @VanessaHodge
