Community Care asks journalists what they know about social work
June 26th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Journalism, Magazines
Following yesterday’s news that Community Care’s ‘Stand Up Now for Social Work’ campaign had been taken on by Take A Break magazine, the RBI title is now running a survey on journalists to gauge how much the media understands about the care industry and what it takes to be a social worker.
You can complete the survey at this link.
