Social Workers from across the Southern Trust joined together for the annual Professional Social Work Forum which shed light on the invaluable role that social work plays in our communities. The event, ‘Shining a Light on Social Work’, brought together social work staff and managers to discuss and review challenges and opportunities from the past year on how the social work professional contributes across the local community and the entire organisation. Colm McCafferty, Executive Director of Social Work and Children and Young People’s Service, says, “I was delighted to join so many of our social work colleagues at our annual event, which is so important to hold as social work plays a critical role in respect of many Trust services.
