Social Work success

Message from Dean Professor Julie Jomeen:

I am delighted to announce that the social work team have been successful in their bid for teaching partnership funding with colleagues in North Lincolnshire LA.

This is clearly an excellent outcome and a real positive reflection of both the SW programmes and the relationships with partners and will enable both continued high quality delivery of the programmes but also underpin future developments. Many thanks to all those involved for all their hard work and I am sure you will all join me in offering congratulations on the deserved success
