It’s our last day of walking our current endeavour on the Camino de Santiago. This gets us to roughly 200km or 25% of the way to Santiago de Compostela, depending which signposts you believe. We might finish in 3 years time at this rate. Here’s the 4 A Day Picture Diary of today’s events. Where? […]| What's the PONT
We didn’t think we were going to do this at about lunchtime yesterday. The thought of another 8km in the building heat was daunting. Those Taxi phone numbers that appear on bus stops and lamp-posts were a serious temptation. But, like true Peregrinos we avoided the temptation and trudged on. Blimey, that sounds dramatic. It […]| What's the PONT
I think I’ve fallen into a pattern for the 4 a day picture diary of our walk. Starting with a view from the hotel window where we spent the night. Where? Villamayor de Monjardin as the sun is rising over the local winery, Bodegas Castillo De Monjardin. This is unfortunately a view over the working […]| What's the PONT
One of the preconditions / contract stipulations of SB taking part in the Camino walk is that she gets to book the hotels. And they have to be ones she approves of. Secretly I’m very appreciative of that condition. So the ‘short’ walking day was actually planned around a stay at a very nice boutique […]| What's the PONT

So here’s a story, and apologies for the deviation from the 4 a day picture diary… We are walking into Puente La Reina when I see these iron statues. A man and woman poised with some sort of digging tool. The statues aren’t ‘ancient’ and there’s no explanation of what they are about. Obviously, I’m […]| What's the PONT
The first day of proper walking on Stage 2. Here’s the 4 a day (approximately) picture diary of: What we are doing, Where we are, Who and Why? What. Walking the stretch from Pamplona to Puenta la R…| What's the PONT

How do you manage caseloads in social work? By drowning? When I was a student, my supervisor would start telling me about how she managed her caseload. ‘Well, I often eat lunch in the car, before I enter the home of another service user. I make sure I get sandwiches so I can sweep the […] The post How to manage caseloads in social work appeared first on Save The Social Worker.| Save The Social Worker
If you’re a supervisor, you’ve probably faced this. Walk into supervision, and the supervisee looks at you, expectantly, awaiting you to start the ball rolling. You think to yourself: I thought you were supposed to take charge of your own supervision! Or you might be a supervisee (the one being supervised). You walk into the supervision, […] The post 9 Social work topics for supervision appeared first on Save The Social Worker.| Save The Social Worker
