#SocialWork & #HumanRights: my favourite day when final year MA students poster present findings of their enhancement project. This year we #ChalkedTheSteps with @uni_essexhealth & @EssexHRC colleagues, joined lectures with @EssexLawSchool experts. (Student agreement to share):

Today is the @UN's Human Rights Day 2023. This year, marking the 75th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights, we continue the tradition of chalking the steps of campus with the 30 articles that make up the declaration. brnw.ch/21wFbtU #HumanRights75

@_JDSW20 Thanks for this.

@AOdoma How exciting! What kind of setting are you in for final placement? Dig deep, show yourself compassion and remember, you will never know everything and that’s okay! 💪

Moving into a new job in a new place, qualifying and starting the ASYE has meant X taking a backseat. But I’m still lurking and feeling so privileged to be a #SocialWorker. I love #AdultSocialCare and am so passionate about its future even with challenge. How are you all doing?

@Yas_SW1 Congratulations 🎊 this is amazing. Soon this will also be me. I wish you all the best with ASYE.

2 years, 170 days in placement, umpteen essays/presentations and a dissertation later… The masters degree is completed. I didn’t think two years ago when my life was turned upside down that I’d ever be here. I’ve loved this MA and I can’t wait to start my journey as an NQSW.

@inecnigeria May God forgive you all.

PRESS RELEASE ALLEGED MANIPULATION OF ACCREDITATION DATA ON IReV The Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) attention has been drawn to some media reports alleging that the Commission was tampering with the accredited figures of voters in the Kogi Governorship Election results uploaded on the INEC Result Viewing (IReV) portal. However, these reports are unfounded. For the avoidance of doubt, the most accurate and up-to-date Voters’ Accreditation Data is available in the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), which is used for the authentication and accreditation of registered voters at various polling units on election day. It automatically retains the accreditation data of all voters. The BVAS is designed to primarily work offline without Internet connectivity, which facilitates faster and seamless authentication and accreditation experience for voters. However, when its application is active or in use, depending on the strength of its connection to the Internet, the BVAS automatically exports the accreditation data to the Accreditation Backend System (ABS). This exportation of data does not happen when the device’s application is inactive or when the internet connectivity is poor. The same experience applies to a situation where more than one BVAS gadget is used at a polling unit with more than 1,250 registered voters. This could be compared to a situation when poor network services delay the delivery of an SMS sent from one individual to another through a mobile phone. At the close of poll, Presiding Officers are expected to press the data exportation button on the BVAS to ensure that all the accreditation data are exported to the ABS. This process, referred to as synchronization and which is ongoing, could lead to changes in the accreditation figures as more data flow in to update the existing figures. This is the basis for the caveat provided on the IReV portal, regarding the accreditation figures. The accreditation data cannot be changed on the BVAS after the close of poll. The public should disregard the misleading report and misinformation. Mohammed Kudu Haruna National Commissioner and Member Information and Voter Education Committee Tuesday 14th November 2023

As a mother of two black daughters, a social worker, and an educator/researcher, I write to wholly condemn the vicious mass assault on a single black child at a school in Ashford, Surrey. The time for silence is over. Power to my people in the face of Injustice👊🏾👊🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾

@Mwharvey Congratulations

So after 30 years working for Herts CC and social care I’m going on new adventures. I’m very much looking forward to joining Southend on Sea City Council as Exec Director for Social Care, Culture & Tourism I am so going to miss the amazing Hertfordshire family though.
