In the early days of the pandemic there was a belief that
the collective challenges it posed could engender a sense of
social solidarity that undermined the growing
inequalities we have seen emerging in recent years.
However, the pandemic has both exposed and exacerbated
inequalities and issues of social justice in our society, beside
increasing inequality. This year saw Black Lives Matter
grow into a global movement, and the issues of gender
violence and inequality have also come to the fore. This
webinar will look at the implications for social work, and
what an ethical and value-based response might look like.
In particular we will examine:
• The unequal impact of the pandemic on the children,
families and their communities;
• The implications this has had for the pressures they face
in their lives in both the short and long term;
• How children services need to respond in terms of the
relationship we have with our communities;
• The messages from research and professional literature
as to what ethical practice looks like on a day-to-day
basis.
