- Death, Dying and Social Work - 6 September 2016
-
This conference provided a space for researchers, educators and others to meet and discuss this important area of interest.
Death and dying is located at the heart of much social work practice - whether through direct work with the dying and their families in end-of-life work, through encountering bereaved service users in many areas of practice, or with the risk of death central to safeguarding procedures for children and adults.
Personal bereavements may also affect students, faculty and service users in various complex ways both more immediately and across the lifespan.The conference promoted research undertaken into the relationships between social work, death and dying and provide opportunities for the development of networks in this important area. The fascinating range of conference papers and workshops provided theoretical, pedagogical and experiential insights into aspects of bereavement, cultural practices ,and leading research.
