2009 News
Well it has certainly been a while since we last updated this page! Let me first introduce and welcome our newest team member Penny. Penny has been with us since November '09 and is our Director of Social Care Development. Penny has been responsible for the majority of our new and fantastic ideas!
Social Work Task Force
Social Work Choices has sponsored two events which were held by LGC in conjunction with eMap. They were held in November last year and January this year and we attended both conferences. To our happiness both were extremely successful for us. Penny had her own slot to talk to the entire conference and made a huge impression (well done Penny!). Further information on LGC and eMap is available by following these links; www.lgcplus.com and www.emapeducation.com
