Life of a Principal Social Worker: Saturday morning up early and to Asda. Nearly ready for #WorldSocialWorkDay #WSWD25 @socialworkengland.bsky.social @basw-uk.bsky.social

Feels good to have a Chief Social Worker back in DHSC and spending the day listening to and engaging with the Adults PSW Network. #SocialWork

Great to be at WECIL’s Community Event today thinking about choice, control and doing things differently. Heard about www.accesscharity.org.uk/accessava which provides free legal information about adult social care and now human rights with the brilliant BIHR.

Yesterday we spoke at #NCASC24 about working within the Care Act during times of financial pressure. 🧵🪡 Our argument was that focusing on wellbeing is rights-based & promotes citizenship; relational & strengths-based practice is evidence-based as most effective; we can think we’re most effective…

So proud to celebrate our amazing #Socialwork degree apprentices as they graduated today. Brilliant people are entering our profession- the future is bright!!

Love this Joanna, but you need to amend your biog to: Barrister. I defend people. And goats.

We had our Local Authority CQC inspection recently- we haven’t yet had any feedback, but wanted to share these reflections hopefully to reassure my fellow Principal Social Workers and other leaders in adult social care 👇
