Pamela Trevithick is a leading authority in the area of social work and her lecture will outline some of the challenges relating to the acquisition and use of knowledge in social work practice.
We use knowledge to understand ourselves, others and the world around us. During her lecture, Trevithick will consider what value is given to different sources of knowledge within professional practice. How, if at all, can the knowledge that we and others have be used to protect children, when certain areas of knowledge are discounted and when a price is placed on our access to knowledge?
Admission to the lecture is free and is open to anyone on a first-come, first-served basis.
Places should be reserved; email Lorna West on lorna.west@bucks.ac.uk or call 01494-603002.
