Professor David Croisdale-Appleby OBE will be delivering an Open Lecture on Wednesday 21 January from 5-6pm in the Pilkington Lecture Theatre, Medway Campus, focusing on his review of social work education.

Professor Croisdale-Appleby was awarded the OBE for his work for social justice, and holds honorary degrees from a number of UK universities for his work in health and social policy. Earlier this year, he completed an independent review for the Government: ‘Re-visioning Social Work Education’ and is committed to extending his work in this arena.

Book Launch
At 6pm, following the lecture, there will be a book launch for The Emotional Politics of Social Work and Child Protection, written by one of our social work tutors, Jo Warner. She will briefly introduce the book and then be available to discuss it over wine and nibbles. Copies of the book will also be available on the day.

The Open Lecture and book launch are free and open to all.  To find out more, email Annikki Laitinen.
