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.

Sorry to miss this Jill and team, enjoy!

Working in safeguarding roles can be rewarding and emotionally challenging. Read about the impact of working in challenging situations, and how you can practice self-care, in this helpful blog by @AnnCraftTrust orlo.uk/wE02H

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...

We are really looking forward to sharing with residents the work we are doing and hearing from you about how we can work in partnership with you.

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
