Overview  

Supporting social workers early in their career is a vital element in retaining and developing a skilled and experienced workforce. This support not only benefits the practitioners involved, but also helps organisations to develop capacity to be relational and person-centred when responding to both the strengths and needs of children and families.

The conference will include sessions on: 

• Sharing learning from practice on effective support for early career development. 
• Supporting the career progression of Black and Global Majority colleagues. 
• Learning from research on effective workforce development. 
• How we can best support practitioners whose life experience includes social work involvement in their own family lives.
