Radical Social Work - learning from Vital Signs

Radical social work is a rich tradition but too often it is only accessible via academia. Instead we want to bring together those who work in social care, have experience of it, or just have an interest. Together we'll consider topics such as the family, motherhood, care, and injustice embedded in current systems. We'll then ask how social care could be practiced in new, truly emancipatory and radical ways.

This month we'll be discussing Vital Signs magazine - a publication by and for health workers and patients - and asking what inspiration social workers could draw from it.

What to expect

After a short introductory talk, we will discuss the topic in small groups, with some time to feed back to the whole room.

Most of our events have somewhere between 10-30 attendees.

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to get involved, regardless of prior knowledge or whether you have attended before.
