You’ll find me on Bluesky #Bluesky

@mgoat73 Be good to hear more - there was some excellent work done by PRIAE in this space 2 decades ago focusing on bme elders

@tanya_tavi I’m good at eating them rather than making them

I’m beginning to think I could do with help from someone who knows what they’re doing 👩‍🍳🍰🧁

A bit late but if anyone is interested a friend and I are talking about equity and diversity in safeguarding reviews later on this week socialworkengland.org.uk/social-work-we…

@Mwharvey First glass I thought it was goals and you were doing 5 a side 😎

Guess what we’re doing with Councillors tonight.

@tanya_tavi @SocialWorkEng Good thing we’re not competing ! I’m on a different date

Please join me as I talk about ‘What’s Next for Strength’s Approach in Social Work?’ For @SocialWorkEng’s SWWeek. Book your free place here eventbrite.co.uk/e/whats-next-f…

Drag, drop, Sway. Have a look at this great @Sway! | "Calling Black mothers of autistic children living in the UK: We need your insights!" | sway.cloud.microsoft/vRq3fbPnpwovP7…

Safeguarding in care homes: what Panorama investigations such as Whorlton Hall and Addison Court, tell us about care home culture and actions needed. A blog, from me. Thanks to my manager (Vijay) and Claire Grindal +colleagues for their support with this: scie.org.uk/news/opinions/…

@Andy_Bilson @ConversationUS Thanks for posting

Our Innovate Project team are excitedly making their way to London for our conference on #innovation & #extrafamilialharm. If you weren’t able to book, take a look at our webinars, papers & resources theinnovateproject.co.uk/resources/! 1/4

@InnovateProj the issue of trauma informed practice has to be consistently understood and applied across all disciplines- rather than the disparate approaches currently used across police / Health/ social care

@EffectivePrac @NIHRresearch Reminded me about a conversation with a student - “a cup of tea is not just a cup of tea “

Initial messages from ⁦@NIHRresearch⁩ on meeting needs of people living alone with dementia & without informal support-have a pathway so they don’t get forgotten by #socialcare & support them to put in a sustainable network for backup #dementia #LAwD livingalonewithdementia.co.uk

@tanya_tavi @UniOfSussex Not convinced he’ll think you’re cool , but I’m sure he appreciate being fed

Thrilled to have been asked to speak to SW students @UniOfSussex. Partly because I graduated from Sussex with my MSW 30 yrs ago👩🏻‍🎓. But mainly because my son is a 2nd yr Sussex student & this finally (surely!) gives me a chance to look cool! 👌😎

🤣 Do you remember this adorable video from a few years ago featuring @ComedianDJPryor "chatting" with his son? It’s one of our favorites because it is a great example of a serve & return interaction. Learn more about serve & return here: bit.ly/3rYwJMR

@James_r_bury I heard him a few weeks ago and for me the issue is who provides support , 30 years as a sw it would have been an expected element of my role- these days I’m not sure if sw are confident in that role even if they had the time

Fascinating presentation by Dr Barry Coughlan covering children's referrals to camhs at #cbhealth23.

@jaCattell @davidthep Rcgp is a lovely venue ( next to Euston) and possibly ncvo( but that may be a squeeze

I need a conference venue with: * with 1 big room which seats 100 people, * 3 breakout rooms which can hold 20 people, * movable chairs and no other furniture, * rock solid wifi / wired internet. Preferably in London. >>> Thoughts? <<< Photo by @davidthep from #ukgc16.

Cherry Tree Wood cafe has gone all Club Tropicana today with BBQ cocktails and tunes to celebrate what would have been George Michael’s 60th birthday.

@KirstyLewin been cycling around Toulouse this last week and would recommend it - the danger is stopping for the great lunches

@DavidJ_Brindle Very depressing reading as lots of statements and little in the way of action from any . The big question is whether this will change in the next decade

Had a stab at rating all the health (& social care) secs of past 20 yrs for what they did for #socialcare - no one shines, but maybe a surprise or two caremanagementmatters.co.uk/feature/the-ch…

@TorButlerCole Can you dm me as I have some ideas
