For Social Work Month/Week/Day - Sarah and Paul discuss social action, social justice and critical social work. What do they mean? Should we be doing them? If so, how? Do we even have enough time?

So many questions – and all managed despite Sarah’s high calcium levels. Don’t ask!

The views represented are our own and do not reflect any organisations we work for or have worked for.
