Organiser of Learning Symposium: Personality Disorders - understanding the diagnosis, boundaries and challenges
The North London Social Work Teaching Partnership has at its core, the aim of delivering excellence in social work practice to all service users and communities across the Partnership. We are driven by a set of shared goals and values of being people-focused; collaborative and creative, with the aim of building sustainable change in social work education and practice. Proactive and entrepreneurial, we strive to train the next generation of North London social workers and build on the current excellence of managers, academics and social workers alike, across the entire Partnership. We believe in leading by example, being respectful and open in sharing and valuing expertise wherever it is found. Through our collaborative venture, we will improve recruitment and retention of staff informed by our workforce needs analysis with the aim of reducing the number of agency staff and increasing permanent positions. The Partnership offers clear and cohesive progression pathways at all levels of the workforce and recognises the need to support aspiring managers and expert practitioners as a way of driving up standards and confidence in the workforce, promoting pride in our profession.
