I enjoy clearing up the confusion and getting rid of the anxiety about relating theory to practice, so I am delighted to be able to offer this free webinar next Wednesday at 6pm: socialworktoday.co.uk/online…. Theory is an important basis for professionalism.

Did you hear what Donald Trump said yesterday? That he will do what he wants, “whether the women like it or not.”
Listen to people when they tell you who they are.

When resourced adequately and organised well, social care is the means through which adults of all ages, with different conditions and reasons for drawing on care, are able to live their best life. local.gov.uk/about/campaigns…

A tale as old as time: rapist with a sporting talent given a free pass so he can continue his professional career.
Dutch volleyball player Steven Van de Velde admitted three counts of rape 12-year-old British girl in 2016, was sentenced to just 4 years, then allowed to return to the Netherlands to complete his sentence, only to be released in 2017 after serving just ONE YEAR.
Upon release, Van de Velde said: "I have been branded as a sex monster, as a paedophile. That I am not, really not."
He quite literally is a paedophile rapist and now he's a paedophile rapist going to the Paris Olympics...

I have been asked for advice about improving organisational culture. My view? DON'T start by setting up a "culture change" programme or a direct "culture" intervention. Culture gets changed when people start doing real work differently. Culture change is a byproduct of wider improvements. See for instance: hbswk.hbs.edu/item/to-change…. Via @HBSWK

Yes Trump is a proven sex abuser & convicted fraudster but the Texas Supreme Court voted 9-0 today:
To uphold forced birth, protect the rights of rapists, and place women's lives at risk, making them leave Texas to receive life-saving medical care
The war on women continues

So, how do we make dementia a priority? Here's what we're calling for📢 1/6

Maybe, instead of National Service for 18 year olds they should introduce national service for MPs.
They all have to do several weeks volunteering in a school, GP, hospital, care home, social care and police within their first 12 months in office.

The national service we need from our young people is to vote for change on 4th July. 🗳️

'We're at a really exciting time in terms of research around dementia.' Dr Vanessa Raymont from @dementiasUK at @UniofOxford explains why the Blood Biomarker Challenge we're taking forward with @AlzResearchUK is so important.
Memory clinics across the UK are to begin trialling blood tests to see if they can accurately diagnose dementia.
Dr Vanessa Raymont, from the University of Oxford, is leading a study which will recruit volunteers from more than 50 UK trial sites
