Social work for lazy radicals: relationship building, critical thinking and courage in practice - 13.02.2020
2020-02-13 17:30 - 19:00 | Kingston Hill, Kingston Hill campus, Kingston upon Thames, KT2 7LB Room: KHBS1002
Dr Jane Fenton, University of Dundee, makes the case for a radical approach to social work that can be embraced by everyone. It’s an approach based on real empathy and an understanding of oppression, of managerialism, of the moral heart of social work, of humanism and of the effects of neoliberal hegemony.
Jane Fenton provides a model of radical practice for students and social workers who are committed to ‘doing the right thing’, and who want to develop their own framework for practice.
This seminar will appeal to students who are activists, but want to frame their individual-level practice in a meaningful way, and to those who are non-activist and non-political but simply want to be good social workers. It will give a political and moral understanding of social work practice and lead to confident, value-based and enjoyable social work.

The Hague Convention & Transnational Abandonment - 15.01.2020
2020-01-15 09:30 - 12:30 | The Chaucer Centre, Canterbury Road, Morden, England, SM4 6PX, Canterbury Road, Morden, SM4 6PX, United Kingdom
An abrupt separation of a ‘good’ caregiver and child during the child’s formative years can have lifelong implications for the child. The emotional fallout is accentuated when a narrative that is untrue and conveyed by the person that caused the separation in the first place accompanies it. What legal tools can assist and how does this translate into practice?
This session is an opportunity to explore the legal and practice issues arising from cross-jurisdictional family law disputes. Two lawyers and one social work practitioner explore the Hague Convention, an international convention with 93 signatories, before moving on to introduce a socio legal area of research examining Transnational Abandonment.
The workshop also explores what social workers need to know when encountering families where there is either a risk of abduction or there has already been an abduction. It will also cover how the voice of the child is heard and represented in proceedings
Facilitated by Jacqueline Harry, Senior Lecturer in Social Work at Kingston University and two family lawyers.

Beyond supervision: shared sense-making and critical judgement in social work – 6.11.2019
2019-11-06 14:00 - 15:30 | Kingston University, Kingston Hill Campus
Supervision is recognised as a cornerstone of critical and reflexive social work practice. However, many social workers report infrequent and/or inadequate supervision and this is a concern which practitioners and academics alike are seeking to address. The question posed in this seminar is “what happens beyond supervision?” and, in particular, what part do informal interactions between peers play in professional practice?
Dr Duncan Helm is a senior lecturer in social work at the University of Stirling. With a practice background in child protection duty work and an academic interest in judgement and decision-making, Duncan has taught extensively on professional judgement (or sense-making) in conditions of uncertainty. His ethnographic research has cast new light on the role that informal interaction between colleagues and team members can play in social work practice. In this seminar, Duncan will present empirical data and a theoretical model of shared sense-making which can help students, practitioners and academics to articulate and work effectively with the influence of peers on professional judgement in social work.
Booking is essential.
