#SWSCmedia so in light of EHRC report last week and the ten charged today what’s role of social media in safeguarding

1 hour ago 

SWSCmedia SWSCmedia

so our first question for tonight: Is social media more of a distraction or help in social work and social care education? #swscmedia

1 hour ago 

Ermintrude2 Moo

@SWSCmedia as I said, surely it can be both. It is a means to an end, not an end in itself #swscmedia

1 hour ago 

BASW_UK BASW

@SWSCmedia Yes it has revolutionised communication but not all are necessarily partakers. #swscmedia

#SWSCmedia left tweetless on last debate however, benefit is that it focuses me on what I’m really passionate about. Change in policies.
