SUMMARY:Diversity, Equality & Social Work Leadership Webinar

However, leadership in social work does not yet reflect the diversities of our society with continuing barriers for women and practitioners from Black and minority ethnic communities.聽\n
 This webinar will consider issues of diversity and equality within the practice of social work leadership. It has been jointly organised by the University 麻豆精选, the British Association of Social Workers, and McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada building on existing developments and collaboration on how to understand, strengthen, and promote the unique contribution of social work leadership.\n
