Career events
Black History Month: Celebrating the impact of Black social workers
Join us as we celebrate the impact Black social workers have made in the lives of children and families. At the event you’ll have the opportunity to:
- learn about the experiences of Black social workers and the impact they have in the lives of children and young people.
- explore the importance of representation in the profession at every level – from student social worker to senior management.
- find out about the support available to racialised minority participants on Approach Social Work.
At Frontline we are committed to diversity and inclusion in all our work. We know we cannot achieve our mission as a charity without including a wide variety of voices, experiences and backgrounds. It is important for children and young people to see themselves reflected in the professionals who have such an influential impact on their lives, and for this diversity of representation to be reflected at all levels of the profession.
This event will take place on 15 October 6:00pm – 7:30pm.
Recognising men in social work
Through Approach Social Work we aim to bring more men, people from racialised minority backgrounds and others who are underrepresented in social work into the profession to reflect the diversity of the families they support.
Join this session as we come together to recognise men in social work and explore the role men play in shaping the future of the profession. You will also hear directly from social workers about their experiences as men in the sector and how they overcome potential challenges. Everyone is welcome to attend!
This event will take place on 22 October 6:00pm – 7:30pm.
