Vicki: Social Work Sorted
About this episode

It's return to work week for so many of us after a December break, although I know that social workers usually work duty rotas as an unrecognised emergency service during this time!

If you are heading back to the office (or virtual office) after a break or time off then here are some simple reminders for how to make this as stress free as possible!
