جايسون، إيرلندي مسلم: "هناك حقيقة عن الإسلام يتجاهلها الناس أو يخافون من الاعتراف بها: الإسلام ليس دينًا يسير على مبدأ "افعل ما يُريحك" إنه يتطلب انضباطاً هائلاً والتزاما وتضحية... إيماننا يدعونا للابتعاد عن الكسل واللهو والإدمان".

@Meemmag Salaam Alaikum!! Thanks for sharing my video 😃🫡❤️🤲🏼

Disappointing to see these new findings from @CommunityCare - shows how engrained this negative public perception belief is amongst social workers. Not surprising with it so consistently rammed down our throats by media/policy networks (without evidence). communitycare.co.uk/2025/01/21/soc…

How Islam made me a better social worker and leader 😊 Would love to hear your thoughts.

Social workers, this is the MOST important thing for us to remember… 💛 Let us know if you agree! What are the barriers to clear, empathic, and compassionate child protection services?

The demonisation of young muslim men (🇬🇧/🇮🇪) #Islam

For me, taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture helps us to understand the ‘why’ of people’s behaviours. As social workers we need to understand actions that we see as ‘risky’ or ‘problematic’. Are these coping mechanisms? The result of trauma? Undiagnosed mental health issues? Important questions to consider so we can provide the right support 💛

Social workers, let’s share our knowledge and insights with other practitioners — How do you ensure you practice with compassion and empathy in situations of tension, disagreement or even in the face of abuse? This is a challenge we all face in child safeguarding.

@HTBC_Belfast Hello! When are your sessions for Adult Beginners?

Christmas Holidays 🎄 Tonight is the last session for the Juniors before it stops for the holidays. The Senior session will run as normal until Friday 🥊 The club will start back on Monday 6th January #TeamHT

Giving this a whirl as there’s so many SW colleagues migrating to Bluesky. Would love to connect 😊👇 bsky.app/profile/jasonb…

Seeing so many people deliberate about deleting their X account. I understand it but I don’t agree. Strong political views are part of the world we live in. Stay here and continue to speak up and advocate for the things you believe in! Even if it’s difficult or you face a lot of opposition. That’s when it’s most important surely. What are your thoughts?

Social workers, need to a breather? 😅 Join us online tomorrow evening for ‘the Social Work Lounge’ from @swactionuk An informal space with no agenda - here for emotional support! Join our community for info: skool.com/nurturechange/… 🗓️ Thurs 14th Nov ⏰ 7pm 📲 Online ❤️💯

I’ve asked the Minister of Health to outline his plans and meetings with unions to address pay and working conditions for social workers. Social workers play a vital role in safeguarding our communities across all sectors – they deserve fair pay and safe working conditions.
