“The Global Social Service Workforce Alliance hosted its 3rd Annual Symposium on June 2nd, 2016. The event was held at the Birdsall House Conference Center in Washington, DC and also via live webcast. Just over 300 participants from 25 countries across NGOs, government, academia, donors and others joined the discussion in the room or online about ways of strengthening the social workforce to better support vulnerable families and children. The symposium enabled the exchange of information between members of the Alliance and other experts across countries and regions.”
The event was organized into two panels, the first focused on strengthening the workforce for the purposes of preventing and addressing violence against children. The second panel focused on promoting intra-disciplinary approaches to strengthening the continuum of care for children and families. This report includes a summary of each of the panel discussions, as well as the questions asked, and provides the text of the opening and closing remarks from the event.
The recording of the Symposium is also available to watch on YouTube here:
