To celebrate Social Work Week, which runs from March 17th to the 21st, Denbighshire’s Social Work Team held a celebratory event at County Hall in Ruthin.

At the event, Denbighshire’s Social Work Team sat down for an informal chat and a cake and a coffee with employees of the wider social care workforce to discuss all things social work.

There was also a chance for a question and answer with local social workers as well as an opportunity to discuss what is happening locally and nationally.
