Join us for this thought-provoking webinar style conversation
Hosted by Richard Devine and Tim Fisher relational Activists
as we go to the heart of children's social care. In the hustle and bustle of community life, it's easy to lose sight of the fundamental question: What is the purpose of children's social work in the UK?
In this session, we've gathered some of the most influential leaders in social work to explore this important question. Our panellists will share their insights, experiences, and visions for the future of children's social care. Work for communities. Social systems.

Donald Forrester is Professor of Child and Family Social Work and Director of CASCADE Centre for Children's Social Care Research and Development at Cardiff University.
Isabelle Trowler took up her post as the government’s first Chief Social Worker for Children and Families in September 2013.
