Join this Social Work Policy Panel meeting to hear how what started as an Advanced Practice Framework for Social Work and is now evolving into a Social Work Career Resource focussing on what you as social workers need to build fulfilling impactful careers which are supported through continuous learning.
A resource is envisaged where social workers can access the experiences of others, learn how other social workers are navigating their careers through real examples and reflections.
