Connection Centred Social Work

Happy Winter Solstice! I am very ready for a bit more sunshine in my day with a gentle nod towards the wonder of wintering. Go gently - complicated time of year and all that…

The level of resources required to take children to medical appointments is massive.Time away from work,transport,all the magic needed to contain a nervous wee person,supporters who can contain & support me etc. How parents who have to do this more regularly manage is astounding

It’s a proper talent that @nktgill has in gathering threads of thoughts together so beautifully and nailing the hope and courage that may be required to move forward in days like these #poetry #hope #strength

#poetry for the soul. It can be heard to remember that things do work out sometimes…

Well home schooling is a lot easier when they are old enough to have laptops from school and young enough to still find this endlessly entertaining! #SchoolStrikes #NotLikeLockdown #ThreeBusyBroads

My car insurance has doubled 🤯 nothing has changed (apart from another year of no claims) It’s going to be another tough winter folks 😔

Got to the bottom of why the bairns are more tired in the mornings - they’ve created their own code by flashing lights at each other from their bedroom windows 👀😂 good to be reminded of the #joy & #creativity of #childhood ☺️

Rest In Power @OdubanjoGboyega rest in power. A huge loss for us all 😔

I had the joy of being shown around this beautiful child centred #Barnahus in Oslo and I never dared dream that I would be standing in Scotlands first #BairnsHoose with @children1st 4 years later to the day #TimeFlies #WorkingHardToDoBetter #UNCRC #Recovery from #trauma

I am so struck by the commitment from everyone involved in our @children1st #BairnsHoose to make it the best possible - from the Interview & Recovery Teams right through to the builders,electricians &heating engineers.Some pretty emotional moments this week,let me tell you! #hope
