Victoria's presentation to our social work students was very well received indeed. It contained a wealth of relevant research material and policy information. It brought the issues to life in a way which made a big impact upon the students and provided them with much food for thought. An excellent, well balanced and well organised presentation which contributed greatly to the education of our students!
