Final Day and session on substance use and addiction. Thinking about my up and coming research with the BAC O’Connor centre in Burton and collaboration with the University of Derby and Nottingham, Trent University.

Seven Trent. So we had a leak today in my daughters new property, seven Trent come out and because they have not looked after the pipes in the main road they’ve actually broken the main stopcock and now the property is flooding they won’t come out. Any ideas terrible service.

@BASW_UK @SimonHadleyPix Love it

🎉 BASW England had a wonderful afternoon recognising the exceptional work of our members at our celebratory event in Birmingham yesterday! 📸 Thanks to @SimonHadleyPix for the excellent photos!

Whats occurring… why is it when you fly out your suitcase is 14kg and upon you return it increases by 2kg????? And you know you definitely used those products and didn’t purchase a single items…. Do you complain. Not a chance. I want to get home.

@carlenefirmin @TfL I’m really disturbed by the events for you today, not only as a woman, but also a black woman and the lack of relevant safeguarding procedures. This is something much much bigger, thank goodness for you assertiveness. This is why we have strong women in social care.

Today I submitted a formal complaint to @TfL after staff at their Charing Cross station refused to help me when I realised I had lost my phone and was stranded late at night with no means of getting home. A THREAD

Dyslexic academic. When you are at a international conference happily handing out your card and realise that despite triple checking on the proof read, you suddenly happen to spot a bloody error and it’s your your first name, so frustrating, exhausting but funny LOL 😂 .

Research poster ESWRA Conference. Lots of useful discussion and potential opportunities for collaboration.

13th eswra in Lithuania. Excited to be here to listen and take part in research in Social Work.

6th international conference in doctoral education and training with Dr Adam Barnard. To share my experience of my phd journey as a dyslexic student.

@MorrisonBeth The system!

If a disabled child who has a very restricted diet has their snack/lunch/drink removed from them "for taking too long" then becomes upset because of this and the staff response is to restrain them, who is at fault do you think? The child? Or Staff? Interested in your views...

@DrJessTaylor It’s what I always thought! Maybe back to the gym and eat better.

@tonibenaton My personal view is not to seek a diagnosis at all. The outcome is always the same, it’s a prescription to stimulant drugs that cause dependency and addiction. There is no objective or proven test for ADHD, so it will always be subjective. I personally don’t see the point.

I have been warning of this for THREE YEARS and all I’ve had is vitriol & abuse. I have said that ADHD is being over-diagnosed, and that private clinics are popping up everywhere to diagnose people in minutes, and prescribe them with stimulant drugs… bbc.co.uk/news/health-65…

@NETTram Terrible service again, adverse weather!!!! all I can see is a little bit of fog and I’m desperately wondering why I’ve paid £170 for six months when so far I’ve only used it once and no buses run from Toton Lane which is where I’ll be driving to.
