At its UK Annual General Meeting held in Cardiff, the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) passed a motion calling on the two major political parties in Northern Ireland to accept the need for compromise to establish a power-sharing Executive.
This penultimate Chair’s Blog post has been jointly written with Karen*, a young mother whose child was removed from her care, who I have previously interviewed for an article in BASW’s Professional Social Work magazine.
Solution-focused practice has strong connections with social work, and it is the approach I have specialised in for a large part of my working life, so I am delighted that my latest joint blog post is with fellow solution-focused practitioner, Suzi Curtis, who is a clinical psychologist. With her colleague, Steve Flatt, Suzi is hosting this year's UK Association of Solution-Focused Practice conference in Liverpool on 14th-15th June.
