I remember, just before the lockdown, attending the Rural Social Work Conference in Dumfries in March. There were questions and anxieties as to whether or not the event was going to go ahead. Fortunately, it went ahead. I say fortunately, because this was the first Rural Social Work Conference organised in Scotland. Taking part in this event made me realise how rural social workers are connected through similar challenges and how we all have to use our creativity and work solution focussed with the limited resources available. We are used to isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
