Social work student and service user role play sessions
This is one of seven stories, showcasing what service user and carer (SUAC) involvement in social work education looks like, what makes it work and what benefits it brings. It has a significant role to play in shaping the next generation of practitioners.
SUAC involvement in social work education has been mandatory for 15 years now, so there is a lot of learning to share with others who can learn from this - transferrable to educators and practitioners working across public services, and relevant to policy-makers committed to mainstreaming person-centred – or person-led – approaches based on real partnership working between those who use and those who deliver services.
Summary
This story is based around role play sessions that are held between social work students at the University of Strathclyde and members of the service user and carer group. The role play is part of an exercise called Fitness to Practise, so students have to take part in a role play before they go out on placement (this is done with second year undergraduate students on the BA course as well as first year students on the Masters course). Previously these sessions were carried out solely between students, but that didn't seem to be working, with it being much harder for students to imagine each other as service users and to use that experience to inform their future work.

SOCIAL GAMING DEVICE
A gaming device includes a base, a runway, and a target. The base includes a baseplate and a ramp. The base plate has an upper surface and a leading end. The ramp includes a ramp leg that supports the ramp in an inclined position. The runway has a free end that extends from the leading end of the base plate in a deployed configuration of the gaming device. The target includes a target plate having a target surface that defines a plurality of holes. The target plate is hingedly attached to the base plate such that the base plate is foldable into the target in a transport configuration of the gaming device.

Social Media Content Trends for 2020
Social media is predicted to continue to be a big tool for businesses in 2020. Big surprise. The Social Media Content Trends for 2020 and Beyond infographic from MicroCreatives lays out their predictions for upcoming trends.
Before the inception of social media marketing, brands used traditional marketing channels to reach out to and engage with consumers. Online social networks have made communicating with consumers a breeze and marketing easier and highly targeted for brands.
By 2020, more than 5 billion people will use social media platforms—that’s roughly two-thirds of the world’s population. Now is the perfect time to get started with social media marketing if you haven’t been doing so already. If you’re already doing it, how is it going for you so far? Perhaps it’s time to evaluate and update your social media content strategy to stay relevant and get ahead of the competition.
Here are some content trends we anticipate to be popular across social media in 2020 and the coming years. See what could work for your brand and start planning ahead.
Sometimes an infographic is a great way to summarize a larger, in-depth article. This is a good example that keeps the text in the infographic short & sweet because the article contains the longer descriptions.
They definitely missed out on using data visualization for the statistics though! Big mistake! They are completely lost in the text, and have no visual impact on the audience.

Social vulnerability and climate change: synthesis of literature
The effects of climate change are expected to be more severe for some segments of society than others because of geographic location, the degree of association with climate-sensitive environments, and unique cultural, economic, or political characteristics of particular landscapes and human populations. Social vulnerability and equity in the context of climate change are important because some populations may have less capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from climate-related hazards and effects. Such populations may be disproportionately affected by climate change. This synthesis of literature illustrates information about the socioeconomic, political, health, and cultural effects of climate change on socially vulnerable populations in the United States, with some additional examples in Canada. Through this synthesis, social vulnerability, equity, and climate justice are defined and described, and key issues, themes, and considerations that pertain to the effects of climate change on socially vulnerable populations are identified. The synthesis reviews what available science says about social vulnerability and climate change, and documents the emergence of issues not currently addressed in academic literature. In so doing, the synthesis identifies knowledge gaps and questions for future research.
