Our theme acknowledges the vital role that social work played during the pandemic and will continue to play as we confront the ongoing challenges of Covid-19, coupled with global conflict, the economic crisis, political change and unrest across the UK and beyond.  A flexible and more diverse social work profession that challenges injustice and discrimination is required to respond to social problems in times of crisis.  Our aim is to celebrate good practice while encouraging a renewed commitments to  more radical and critical Social Work that has activism at its centre.  We also acknowledge the impact of dealing with ongoing crisis on the profession and its workforce and we aim to showcase work that promotes the wellbeing of the profession.
