Ugandan life experience contributes to UK social work career

A Ugandan website, describing the career of social worker, Dorothy Nababi Sebuliba, and her impresive academic qualifications and contribution to chkild and adolescent social work in the UK, draws attention to the importance of early life experience and family traditions in forming the skills and commitment of social workers, even when they move to another country to work. Because of her life histroy, Dorothy is a 'gift' from Uganda to the UK, and UK social work is richer because of it.

From the New Vision  website:
“MY late father used to often tell us that his contribution to our education was our inheritance and the rest of his possessions were for his brothers and sisters,” says Dorothy Nababi Sebuliba.

The senior mental health practitioner, who is based in Warwickshire in the UK, is a graduate of Makerere University, with a degree in social work and social administration. She also has a post-graduate diploma in psychiatric social work from Manchester University, funded by a scholarship from Save the Children Fund.

She has a masters’ degree in child and family mental health from the University of Leicester, UK.
