Decided to embrace the changing world and way of working by offering more services online. I now have a Zoom account, and can offer interactive online training to staff groups. Recently carried out successful child and adult protection training but can develop other materials.

if you want to know some of what your professional association has been doing to raise issues and speak up for #socialwork, take a look at our roundup of @BASW_UK in the media basw.co.uk/media-centre/b…
If you wish to make a referral, just drop me an email to [email protected]. Stay safe everyone.
All other work for the foreseeable future will be completed online, using video conferencing facilities. I'll be available for referrals regarding training, consultancy (if you have any specific advice or need a fresh pair of eyes to support your work with a young person).
Firstly, I will be limiting any face to face contact, only carrying this out in specific circumstances with very small groups of people (for instance home visits) and this will only occur after a full health risk assessment is carried out.
Hi, hope everyone is well at these very difficult and different times. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still open for business, but in line with government guidance have made some changes to the way I deliver services.
Here's my latest blog, on the coronavirus crisis. Hope everyone is ok. ihsocialwork.co.uk/blog

Kibble Chief Executive Jim Gillespie is looking forward to working with @smisatrust and @saintmirrenfc to help the club move forward while supporting our young people with training and job opportunities. @CEOKibble kibble.org/news/fan-vote-…
Yesterday was a good day, with less good elements. Good was the release of the Care Review report, less good was watching St Mirren struggle to a home draw against Hamilton. Here's my take on it (the Care Review, not the football). ihsocialwork.co.uk/blog
Looking forward to reading this. And remember, you can never break a pinky promise.
Care Review reports - Independent Care Review A humbling piece of work . So much to get through but committing here and now to a new mantra “implementation ,implementation, implementation @fionacarereview @TheCareReview carereview.scot/independent-ca…

Yesterday, the @CareInspect published a report on the deaths of children and young people in care between 2012-2018. Our Chief Executive @duncdunlop has given comment on this new report. whocaresscotland.org/who-we-are/med…
Need to get behind this campaign. Far too many brother and sisters are separated for no good reason.
.@TheighanM is speaking to @BBCRadio4 today about being separated from her little sister, Sophia, and the impact it has had on her and their relationship. You can read about it in this blog she has written. whocaresscotland.org/who-we-are/blo…
My latest blog on the Care Review is now available at ihsocialwork.co.uk/blog
@IDickson258 @maggiemellon @DavetheCareBear @jacqueMccartney @NicolaSturgeon @GCU_StudentLife @gcu_sw @GCUstudents @GCUCares @StrathclydeWork @CELCIStweets @NCFscotland @scotgov Agree that Scotland is further ahead as at least trying to address issues - however whether the report will address the real failings of the current system is the big question.
Happy new year everyone. Excited and anxious as I start out as an independent social worker. Please have a look at my website at ihsocialwork.co.uk and, if you think I could help your service or those you work with, get in touch!

The brilliant @1000voicesscot will be finishing their work supporting the #CareReview tomorrow, Friday 20 December. The team have done an incredible job listening to children and young people with care experience across Scotland. Thank you! 🙌🙌🙌
Pleased to announce I'll be starting practice as an independent social worker on 6th January 2020. Here's a link to my first blog, on the very real issue of care experienced young people being separated from siblings. ihsocialwork.co.uk/blog-articles/…
