Celebrate Success, Shape the Future
Social Work Scotland’s second conference dedicated to justice social work – Celebrate Success, Shape the Future – brings together practitioners, leaders, and partners from across Scotland to recognise the meaningful impact of our collective work and to look ahead with purpose and possibility.
This conference is a space to celebrate practice and achievements, share learning, and honour the dedication, creativity, and resilience of those working within justice social work. It will highlight evidence-informed practice, innovative approaches, and collaborative efforts contributing to safer communities and transformed lives.
Looking forward, the conference will explore academic, political, and professional perspectives on how justice social work in Scotland can continue to evolve in response to change – including policy reform, shifting societal needs, and emerging challenges. Through dialogue, reflection, and collaboration, participants will consider tangible takeaways to build a better, fairer future for the profession as well as the communities we serve.
Celebrate Success, Shape the Future is an opportunity to connect, reflect, and recommit to a shared vision for justice social work in Scotland – one that builds on success while boldly shaping what comes next.
