I have a chapter in this book on Infant Contact during COVID-19, drawing on the Contact During Lockdown project I worked on with @prof_beth_neil. Lots of other great contributions from various authors discussing the impact of COVID-19 on SW practice. Well worth a look!
The book shows how physical distancing does not have to result in relational distancing and how practitioners’ dedication, creativity & focus on care & humanity bridged the physical constraints to support & maintain emotional, social and relational bonds. amazon.co.uk/Social-Work-Cov…

It was a privilege to represent @GPlusinfo at the Early Years Review Evidence Gathering Session chaired by @andrealeadsom. There were interesting discussions with other charities and third sector organisations. Well supported #kinshipcare is essential for some young children
