Yes We Will Blame Them - No blame no gain?

Dear all

It was almost a year ago [link] now

that I set up the Commission on Social Workers and wrote to you asking whether you would be able to contribute to the evidence we were setting out to gather on how the image, role and status of social workers needed to change.
 

I am most grateful to all of you for taking the time to share you expertise with us and contributing to the work of the Commission – whether it was via written evidence or one of our oral evidence sessions. Without your contributions our report could never have been written.

I shall be launching the findings of the report tomorrow at the ADSS/LGA conference in Bournemouth – you may remember this is same place that I launched the start of the Commission last year.

I have attached a copy of the report to this email. I do hope you find it of interest - thank you again for your assistance.

Yours,

Tim Loughton MP
