Social Work Policy Panel

to 1:00pm
About this event

This session will follow on from the Justice Social Work agenda from October's session. We will discuss No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) in the justice social work context. What options exist for people who are denied access to most public benefits and housing support because of their immigration status (NRPF), and how justice systems and services can respond to their needs. A panel of expert speakers will join us, and you will have the opportunity to discuss your experiences of supporting people with NRPF to shape policy.

The panel is jointly run by the Scottish Association of Social Work, the National Social Work Agency, and Social Work Scotland. The panel was created to bring together experienced frontline workers, newly qualified workers, students and policy makers in Government to address the issues affecting social work today. It is an opportunity to influence those policy makers and the future of social work with your experience and knowledge.
