Joint Conference Friday April 27th 2012 - Birmingham

Conference Programme (.DOC) or PDF Version Conference Programme (.PDF)

This year will be running our first ever joint national training day with colleagues from the Association for Education Welfare Managers. The event will be held on Friday 27th April at Maple House in central Birmingham (Postcode B4 6TB). We have opted for a single day so that it can be competitively priced and hopefully allow as many members as possible to attend, even if some of you have to pay for yourselves due to the demise of dedicated EWS training budgets!

For the first time we are collaborating with the AEWM to put on a joint conference programme. Further information will continue to be posted here but we have worked to ensure that the price remains attractive at just £89 for members or £145 for non-members (which still represents excellent value for money) and all the topics on offer are not only relevant, but also eye-catching to senior managers!

To Receive The Discounted Offer You Must Be A Paid Up NASWE Member

However, please note that this year we are introducing a new requirement that only those who can benefit from booking the heavily discounted rate must be fully paid up NASWE members by 5.00pm on Friday 17th February. So please check that your susbcription is up-to-date!

Confirmed topics for the day will include:

• An not to be missed update from Charlie Taylor, the coalition government’s Behaviour and Attendance Advisor (with an opportunity to ask questions)
• Local Authority duties in relation to ‘children in need’ and how this fits with education welfare (session being run by a Barrister from Legal Action Group).
• Working with Academies (looking at relative statutory responsibilities and also traded services developments)
• Education Supervision Orders (and where do they sit in the DfE’s current views on measures to secure regular school attendance?)
• ‘Hard Times’ – New models for delivering effective and value for money education welfare services
