Great to work with @Vicki_CJI and @CJInnovation for a really helpful day 3 FDAC training session. We have a fantastic team, ready for the launch of Somerset FDAC 1st January 2021...👍

Thanks to everyone for a great session yesterday showcasing new ways of working Somerset, particularly @famsafeguardin1 and @selwyn_j for their insightful and thought provoking presentations - good to be working with you. #gettingitrightforfamilies

....Oonagh is not only an asset to the county council but an asset to the community she serves I am from an ethnic minority background and I am accustomed to discrimination or impartiality but Oonagh restored my faith that not everybody is like that.....

Some amazing feedback about one of our Child Protection Coordinators - this is exactly what are aiming for in Somerset: I couldn’t have hoped for a better person than Oonagh to chair this conference .She was compassionate and treat us with respect....continued

Leeds United - Champions at last! For those who may not immediately see the relevance to social work, think again; it's about leadership, teamwork, perseverance, effort. striving towards a common goal. Marching on Together. #LeedsAreGoingUp

researchinpractice.org.uk/adults/content… This is brilliant. Aimed at adult practitioners but totally relevant if you work with children. And very funny...

CSC Heads of Service. Back together. In person. Socially distanced, of course... 😁

First QPRM (quality and performance review meeting) via MSTeams. Went surprisingly well. Great to see that even amidst an international pandemic, Somerset managers continue to focus on improving practice 👍

@ChrisJSquire @SomersetCouncil I find that almost impossible to believe Chris.... 🤔

One of my daughters is about to write to @SomersetCouncil chief executive to ask him to re-open County Hall, so I can go back. Apparently I'm being quite annoying at home.

Your County needs you...

Great film, great mug. #mugoftheday

Home schooling in the Shallcross household. This is what happens when both your parents are social workers.. #makingthebestofit #supermum

@carrie_minall What tiny feet...

Day 2... #positivethought. It’s ok to feel overwhelmed about this moment in time, but having just been for a run with no one around, everyone who you do pass (at distance) gives each other a smile, in it together #oktohaveawobble #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #ItsOkNotToBeOk

We really do have some great training in Somerset. Following on from MI last month, this weeks Systemic Masterclass with @Rachelsystem was a timely and insightful reminder of the power of systemic approaches in promoting true relational practice. Thank you Rachel and Steve. 👍

Huge energy and enthusiasm in the room today from our amazing staff, as we launch our new ways of working in Somerset. #familysolutionssomerset

I love working with @dez_holmes and RiP. Always informative, always illuminating, and always engaging. Today we were discussing how, as leaders, we must use evidence informed practice to improve lives.

Au revoir... x
