Vitamin D and being outside with nature can do wonders for our wellbeing. Yesterday we made the most of the sunshine and I took our restorative solution circle outside for our NQSWs ☀️☀️

This week we ⁦@siblings2gether⁩ ran workshops at the National OFSTED conference. Feedback was amazing but officers had never heard of us. We run life changing camps for siblings separated in care & adoption. ⁦@YvetteStanley18⁩ ⁦@Ofstednews⁩ ⁦@delmahughes⁩

Saying well done and farewell to our 2nd cohort and welcoming our 5th! All organised by our amazing course leader @KatieKuken and with our partners. And tear inducing feedback for our Ruth McManus @SW_ARU @degreesatwork #Aruproud

Such a privilege to be part of our apprentices journey! Lovely day celebrating their achievements with our partners! @JennyRafter @KatieKuken and the rest of the team, thank you for all your hard work and support 👏 now to start their ASYE!

Out of office is on for a few days, time for a break, successfully managed to fill every single gap in the car😀

The first group of Social Worker degree apprentices from Essex local authorities celebrated their graduation at Chelmsford Cathedral. Read the full press release here 👉 ow.ly/Cvmk50PfUSi

@SocialWorkKeith It would great to have more males in the profession. Would love to hear any ideas you may have! 😀

@larafry80 There is a dire need to attract more males into social work. A frighteningly female dominated sector. Always hugely evident around graduation time.

Was an honour to be invited to the first Cohort of apprentices graduation ceremony at ARU. You've all done extremely well. Big shout out to our four, all at the Southend Family are very proud of you!

@KatieKuken @AngliaRuskin I felt very honoured to be invited!x

@KatieKuken @AngliaRuskin Was a beautiful day 😍
