Festival of Learning is a week long virtual event. We are offering social work professionals the opportunity to attend almost 20 online sessions, delivered by sector experts and providing insights into innovation and good practice in social work. While most sessions do have a fee attached, our two event sponsors, Wiltshire Council and Cafcass will be hosting 2 free sessions.
With this online event you can tailor your attendance according to your needs, work commitments and the time you have available.
