Social Work in the South

Thanks for joining us!

Social Work in the South returned for its fifth year, welcoming students, newly qualified and experienced Children’s Social Workers back to The Ark for a full day of learning and networking.

We welcomed speakers including Jenny Molloy and Community Care Inform, Social Work England and hosted a panel for student social workers about what to expect in their first year of employment. It was an insightful day for everyone involved, with a varied programme of events and opportunity to network with over 10 exhibitors.

We look forward to seeing you again in 2023 – keep an eye on this page for more information!
