Its all going to get a bit busy in the coming weeks but in advance just want to say social care workers are going to be the difference for a lot of folk out there - can't say thank you enough
My university just announced that we are shifting all courses #online for several weeks due to #coronavirus. I spent the last month on jury duty & as a result had to unexpectedly move my class online with no notice. I've got some thoughts (thread): #AcademicTwitter #CovidCampus
Hello, I am a MA social work student conducting a survey into the retention rate of social workers in children's services. If you are a social worker in this area please can you take part. Thank you very much! ntusurvey.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/dissertation-7 #socialwork #socialworkuk #basw #research
Does anyone know how to get an article translated from another language? It's a systematic review and feel it would be worth my time to read. @ImplementSci @SWResearchChat @Byron_Powell @TheGinaGi @ElisabethAnneCC
The damaging impact of poverty on children and their families and the growing problem of exploitation are revealed in a new report by researchers at #UEA and @warwickuni bit.ly/38l0Qyv @swkuea @CRCF1

The #Marmot2020 report finds rising health inequalities linked to poverty & austerity, stating simply & starkly: “people have insufficient money to lead a healthy life; and there are more ignored communities with poor conditions and little reason for hope” instituteofhealthequity.org/the-marmot-rev…

@ChildDataChange @SWResearchChat You'll have seen this?ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
@ChildDataChange @SWResearchChat What are your thoughts... as per my original tweet...is it that messages from research... if not the 'correct' message or if they are thought not to be 'on message' are unheard?
@ChildDataChange @SWResearchChat I think the notion or aspiration of scale is difficult in the England context. There will always be variation in terms of understandings & roll out. I think a significant & current problem is the lack of range of voices from research in shaping policy / practice change 1.
