Dr Terry Murphy (Teeside University), Helen Davies (Practitioner and Barnet Unison) and Tom Robinson (student at University of Sussex) are confirmed to speak during Plenary 2 at our annual conference. Together they offers perspectives on the extensive privatisation taking place within social work, from both the fields of practice and education. Do you know what role fast track education programmes such as Frontline and Step Up are playing in restructuring the profession? What does the future hold for students like Tom who will have no bursaries and how do we resist in the workplace and through our unions?
