Practice Development Series

Enhance your practice skills with our free one-hour online workshops for professionals working in children’s services.

Whether you’re looking to grow your skills, reflect on your practice, or connect with others, the Practice Development Series creates a space to do just that!

Through workshops you will hear directly from expert speakers, gain practical tools and fresh insights to enhance your everyday practice, and take part in live discussions with other professionals working in children’s services across the country.

In each series we hold four online workshops and you can attend as many as you like.

Upcoming workshops

• Working with care experienced young people  
• Youth custody  
• Working with fathers and male caregivers 
• Caste discrimination 

We encourage practice educators and anyone interested in social work education to join, as this is a great learning opportunity and one that will contribute to your PEPS requirements and boost CPD.

We encourage everyone signed up to attend live sessions of the Practice Development Series, so that you can make the most of reflection and discussion spaces, connect with colleagues on the call and ask your questions directly to our speaker. 

Please note these sessions are not recommended for participants on Approach Social Work. We recommend you sign up for Frontline Talks, which is open to everyone.
