Invitation to a FREE social work webinar , hosted online this autumn by the Department of Social Work and Social Care

with Vivi Antonopolou, University College London

Insights from behavioural science - which include behavioural models and the well-known 'nudge theory' - have become increasingly influential in policy and government over the past decade. However, there has been relatively little discussion of its use within local authorities and the implications for services such as adult and children's social care. In this thought-provoking seminar, Dr Antonopoulou will present findings from an exploratory study carried out by researchers at University College, London, which examined the use of behavioural science in local authorities and will consider its potential implications for statutory social services.
