The Festival of Social Work

Every 18 months or so, practitioners from across our region come together to share good practice, network with colleagues and hear from a range of inspiring speakers and social work thought leaders. Everyone who attends the Festival of Social Work is able to attend two workshops in person along with the keynote presentations. The conference focuses on a theme each year. Past themes have included:

• The Power of Relationships

• Missing Voices

• Managing Uncertainty

• Understanding and Preventing Future Child Sexual Abuse
