Shout out today to all the social workers out there who did the right thing this week, who upheld rights and stayed true to the values, and who in doing so made themselves unpopular with a whole host of people but did it anyway. We see you.

Looking forward to tomorrow’s @basw-uk.bsky.social ‘Let’s Talk Social Work’ podcast release. @katemellor.bsky.social Steph Grant and I talking all things brain injury, social work and human rights,

Sign up for regular updates about their resources and upcoming events by emailing us at: NABLES@UKABIF.org.uk, and we’ll ensure you’re added to the list.

Seeing as we are all a bit new here and replaying some of our golden oldies (I am looking at you @themerl.bsky.social with your "Big Unit" photo!) here is a link to a wonderful paper by a much missed late friend and the lovely @samgilbert.bsky.social www.researchgate.net/publication/...

To help us all settle in here, revisiting past work that may be useful. A deeply personal article by Dr Alyson Norman of Plymouth University about the unnecessary death of her brain injured brother. Please share. pearl.plymouth.ac.uk/cgi/viewcont...

Spending a lovely morning supping coffee reviewing the last of over 50 submissions for our Routledge International Handbook of Criminal Justice Social Work. We are truly blown away by the range and quality of submissions. We are a fortnight behind but will be emailing in a day or two. Thank you! 🙏🏻

Whilst I’m not leaving X as yet, I would very much like to spend more time here.

So, if you see this and you’d be kind enough to share it to let readers find me, that would be greatly appreciated. Hi!
