Hello and welcome to the Solway Children's and Youth Work Network or SOCHYOWONE. I trust you made it here safely with no bumps or bruises - the Internet can be a dangerous place.
On behalf of the Solway Deanery Youth Committee, I want to take this opportunity to introduce the network. First off, you may notice that 'social network' is a misnomer, this is actually a weblog, or blog. The first major difference being that with blogs one person is in charge (the administrator) while all other contributors can post comments, on a social network everyone is in charge. The second major difference is that blogs are easy to set up and free.
Another bonus with blogs is that we can manage who is able to post comments, on most social networks anyone can gain access and read statuses, but with a blog we can ensure that contributors are by invitation, and that the blog is only visible to contributors.
This space is intended to be a place where youth workers can share resources, problems, successes and fears, and where the Deanery Youth Committee can pass on any information that is relevant to us all.
Hopefully this will serve our purposes, and if not, we can always look to setting up something else. Please feel free to comment, perhaps starting with introductions, and remember this space is for you.
