Live Twitter Debate on Social Workers' Role & Identity

There will be a live debate on Twitter today (Tuesday 18th October) 2011 from 20.00-21.00 GMT (15.00-16.00 EST) covering social worker's roles and professional identity. The debate is sponsored by the Social Work & Media Network, Goldsmiths University of London and the Open University and will address such questions as:

1. How should we define the role of social workers in our society (Are statutory social workers’ an agent of state? and What is the role of non-statutory social workers?)
2. Are social workers such a consistent failure or is social work the easiest “Social Scapegoat”?
3. How can we establish and sustain a more engaged and positive role and identity for social workers?

Anyone is invited to join in. You can find out more & join the debate here: Social Work /Social Care & Media.
