Understanding Section 17 & Section 47 in Children's Social Care
Join us for the first in a series of thought-provoking workshop series exploring the experiences and impact of social care assessments on children and families. Through structural reflection, we will examine the decision-making process, the effectiveness of interventions, and the role of multiple services. Your reflections will help inform research being conducted by the University of Cambridge. There is no charge for attending.
Internationally, Community-based Social Work (CSW) is definitely NOT dead in the water.
Nations, continually facing country-wide disasters, know they need to support whole communities. We knew it too when Covid first hit us. Facebook groups helping local people sprang up everywhere. They have died down now because there are no resources to sustain the work.
Research findings and practice experience provide compelling evidence that animal abuse in the context of domestic abuse is a tactic of coercive control and an act of animal cruelty (Arkow, 2014; Barrett et al, 2017; DeGue et al, 2009; Fitzgerald et al, 2019; Newberry, 2017; Richards, 2009, Wakeham, 2025). Although the link between domestic abuse and animal abuse is uncontested, it is an issue that is often not translated into practice.
