Free social work careers advice at Community Care Live 2023 – now booked up

About the career clinics

The clinics are a confidential space for registered social workers and social work students to speak face-to-face with Dame Lorna, with each slot lasting 25 minutes.

This year, we were particularly looking for students and those early in their social work careers to sign up for the clinics, though they were open to practitioners of all levels of experience.

Dame Lorna, managing director of Bokell Associates, has over 30 years’ experience managing, leading and developing social care and educational services for children, young people and families.

In 2010, she was tasked with setting up one of the first social work academies at the London Borough of Croydon, and has since gone on to set up or advise on the creation of nine other academies.

Community Care Live provides essential learning for social workers, students, occupational therapists and local authority directors, commissioners and workforce leads through a wide-ranging free seminar programme and paid-for legal learning sessions.

You can also network with colleagues and connect with organisations including local authorities, service providers and research bodies in our exhibition.

Community Care and Bokell Associates are not responsible for individuals’ decisions and therefore do not accept liability for participants’ subsequent actions following the clinic sessions.
