Thank you to @BASW_UK for pulling together this research briefing with me to help make my recent paper on "The social work public perception myth" accessible to even more people. Students in particular may find this more digestible. Read the briefing here: basw.co.uk/sites/default/fil…

We really enjoyed having @JoeEHanley to speak as part of our seminar series yesterday. We had planned to post throughout but got caught up in such an engaging and important discussion on public perceptions of social work and the impact on social work identity. Thanks so much Joe!
It was great to have been able to speak to so many people today at the webinar organised by @StrathSWSPKE on The Social Work Public Perception Myth. The questions and engagement after the presentation were very motivating. I look forward to keeping the conversation going.
