The conference will feature prominent keynote speakers, engaging workshops and a unique opportunity to meet social workers from across the country. Keynote papers will be given by: Professor Peter Huxley (Swansea University) - Integration of health and social care in mental health services Professor Nick Frost (Leeds Metropolitan University) - Integrated working in frontline children's services: research, policy and practice Professor Marian Barnes (University of Brighton) - Ethics of care in promoting effective dialogue between workers, service users and carers. The conference will also feature an interactive plenary session on the theme: "Are families becoming more dangerous?"
