Great to have so many join us at a regional multi-agency Safeguarding event organised by DoH sharing research and updates on the Adult Protection Bill as it makes its way through the Assembly, with thanks to QUB and SPPG @QUBelfast

It was a fantastic morning. A really rich experience of learning from each other. Excited about the possibilities of forum theatre in social work education.
Immersive interagency training at its best. GP trainees, social worker students & PSNI officers training in the assessment of individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. Person centred & relational approach @LisaTMSA
🙏🏼 you @AineMorrison +Paula Houton for making this happen

Delighted to present my research today at the 4th Approved Social Work conference. Delivering improved services for our services users with EUPD / complex trauma should be a priority for @HSC_NI and @BelfastTrust @haz_walsh @OrlaTierney3 @johnhand @FionaRowan7 @AineMorrison

On this 17th October, the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, I encourage all social workers to commit to anti poverty practice. This framework will support you to do so. It's available at health-ni.gov.uk/publication…

Congratulations to NISCC on these excellent guides to employing social workers. Social work has a lot to offer in a variety of settings but it's important that social workers receive the right supervision and support to do their job well. @amandacowdenbt1 @NI_SCC
