Festival of Learning is back with a week of high-quality social care training
Community Care’s Festival of Learning is back, offering practitioners a week of high-quality, virtual social care training from leading experts.
Registration is now open for the event, from 27-31 March 2023, with a wealth of learning on offer for adults’ and children’s social workers, team managers, practice educators, occupational therapists and other social care practitioners.
Topics on this year’s programme include adult attachment, hoarding, the Liberty Protection Safeguards, listening and talking to children, practice with autistic children, self-harm and working with diversity as a practice educator.
Until the end of February, we are offering delegates an early bird rate of £28 plus VAT, after which the full delegate rate, of £34 plus VAT per session, will apply.
Alongside the paid-for programme, there are also two free sessions, courtesy of our sponsors, Wiltshire Council and Cafcass.
The hour-long webinar sessions run from 9.30am to 4.30pm each day, enabling you to tailor your attendance according to your needs, work commitments and the time you have available.
