About this event
Experience ground-breaking work which embeds art, culture and creative confidence in the practices and systems of social services, with powerful positive outcomes for the people who use them.
New Town Culture is about bringing art and culture into social care services for adults and children. The team from the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham will introduce their new reflective practices, training and creative interventions from social workers and artists.
Out of their work, a new vision for ‘creative social work’ has emerged. Learn how they work with social care professionals, artists and creative practitioners to collaborate, solve problems and support a creative attitude in policy and practice.

About Social Work Week
Building on the success of the first Social Work Week, Social Work Week 2022 is a programme of events which we are co-producing with the sector.
We will run a main programme of events across the week (14 to 18 March). This year, we are also encouraging organisations and individuals from across the sector to develop and run their own independent events and activities as part of Social Work Week.
Social Work Week will complement the annual World Social Work Day celebrations on 15 March 2022. World Social Work Day recognises the hard work and dedication of social workers on an international stage.
Social Work Week is for anyone with an interest in social work in England, including:
- social workers, including people looking to return to the profession
- people with lived experience of social work
- social work students
- employers of social workers
- social work educators
- organisations with an interest in or influence on social work
