Annual Social Work and Social Care Research Conference

The event continues to go from strength-to-strength, attracting local, national and international interest.

Each year the quality and quantity of projects submitted following a Call for Abstracts and also the willingness of individuals and teams to share their research and evidence has grown significantly.

The Conference continues to create a healthy debate on the available research and evidence here in Northern Ireland to inform social work and social care services.
