Social Work Practice Educator Conference

About the Day

The Sheffield Hallam University Social Work Practice Educator conference offers you the chance to share practice developments and experiences and discuss new concepts in professional practice with colleagues from across the region, from South and West Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Humberside, Lincolnshire, and Nottinghamshire.

It is for everyone interested in contributing to current debates on the latest developments and thinking in social work education: educators, practitioners, researchers and students.
