Islington PIP L&D Week: Affinity / Safer Space

Come and join Islington’s Partners in Practice (PIP) Team in an engaging week of learning and development sessions. We have developed 13 learning sessions and will host reflective sessions at the end of each day to enable peer discussion to support practitioners with their Social Work England’s CPD registration requirements. 

Affinity / Safer Space: Evidence and experience tells us that anti-racist practice networking and safe space platform can positively supported staff from black and global majority backgrounds. Join us for hear how we have supported other local authorities set up safer spaces for their staff. This session will be facilitated by Andrea Ferdinand and Sharon Davidson.
