Practitioners’ Events: December 2017 and January 2018
The What Works Centre for Children's Social Care Development Team (The Alliance for Useful Evidence at Nesta, FutureGov, Traversum and the Social Care Institute for Excellence) is running a series of events for practitioners to help gather detailed information and perspectives on:
- The key tasks and activities that social workers and colleagues perform,
- How data and evidence might be made more readily accessible and useable,
- How practitioners would like to get involved with the establishment of the Centre.
11 December 2017 – Leeds
14 December 2017 – London
18 January 2018 – Bristol
29 January 2018 – Coventry
The events are aimed at:
- Children’s social work practitioners such as frontline social workers, team managers, principal social workers, senior managers, practice leaders (e.g. Heads of Service and Assistant Directors),
- Other practitioners in the children’s social care system (e.g. non-qualified workers in residential care, family support workers, personal advisers and independent advocates),
- Practitioners in other services relevant to vulnerable children and young people (e.g. education, health, youth work, and the youth/criminal justice system).
