We are incredibly excited to announce the first Social Work Scotland conference on adult social work!
Adults social work practice is inherently multifaceted, touching every aspect of society. Working with adults is a universal component – whether supporting people with disabilities, working in mental health, safeguarding vulnerable adults, navigating justice interventions, or guiding transitions into older adulthood, adults social work is at the heart of ethical and person-centred practice.
This conference seeks to overturn the perception that social work with adults is a siloed area of practice. We will be profiling the critical, interconnected nature of adults social work, across all professional operational fields, examining its opportunities and challenges.
Through engaging presentations and workshops, delegates will explore:
- Theoretical perspectives on adults social work practice.
- Innovative solutions for addressing the needs of adults across diverse settings.
- The pivotal role of leadership and management in supporting and redefining the workforce during times of change.
We are delighted to be welcoming independent writer and educator, Neil Thompson for both a keynote and workshop, alongside an exceptional array of professionals, academics, researchers, and institutions highlighted on the agenda below.
Whilst appreciating obstacles such as increased service demands, diminished resources, and financial pressures, we will celebrate and encourage the resilience of an adaptable workforce, innovative management practices, and the collective voice of adults social work professionals driving change.
Join us to connect, learn and empower the future of social work with adults in supporting individuals, families, and communities.
