The government should now launch an initiative to encourage people to join the social work profession.

We need a stronger national voice for social workers which leads to a change in how the profession is viewed and its ability to represent itself to other professional bodies and with central government.

Evangelism without social work is deficient; social work without evangelism is impotent.

We rarely hear about clients who come in and ask for the newest social worker. That's too bad because, to me, new social workers are a gift.

Just as in policing there is an emphasis on civilians to help with paperwork, we must free up trained and experienced social workers to focus on children, not bureaucracy.

I fell in love with social work, and that was my undoing as a poet.
