Just to note - the reflection sections where completely grounding. I mentioned them to Lauren & Mark yesterday…I was sitting in our lounge Sunday early morning - the light was peaking in through a gap in the blinds - ‘there’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light get in…’

Started sharing our reflections of #thebrightnessofstars yesterday. @LaurenStrong_ @ Me and @MarkFSocialWork of @UoCSocialWork I was sharing how much the 1st edition had supported my teaching content in #socialwork, how I’d never forgotten @_LisaCherry care story #SocWorkEd
All welcome. Any sector. Reflections, asking better questions and listening to adult voices with lived experiences of children's services. #SocialWorkTwitter #socialwork

Bringing 'Street Wisdom' onto campus with students on a beautiful late summer afternoon. Great model which takes our personal questions out into natural and built environments. #SocialWorkEd #CumbriaUni @AMLTaylor66 @LaurenStrong_ #streetwisdom

Carlisle has a great cultural heritage. Social Work is contemporary. Exciting to work with our new students exploring current issues while also experiencing the beauty of Carlisle Cathedral Fratry. #SocialWorkEd #cumbriauni

So important to remember Ukraine independence day today. Social justice is vital on lots of levels, in lots of places - including at home in the Learning Gateway. All of us have a contribution towards making the world a place of peace and equality for everyone. #UoC #SocialWorkEd

Great idea ...an event in a nature reserve! We're evolving Green Social Work to understand how our behaviours at work have to be environmentally aware. Particularly in Cumbria where rural social work is key @SWLancs let's collaborate @LaurenStrong_ @JanePye @AMLTaylor66
We have new guidance on the Going Green Together site! If you're looking for tips on protecting and supporting local nature and biodiversity, take a peek: goinggreentogether.org/categ…

Falling short of a goal doesn't mean failure. Often it's progress. 14 experiments, 10k people: people counted results that didn't meet targets as losses—even if they were gains. The key measure of success isn't reaching your destination. It's improving from your starting point.
