This year AEWM will be running our first ever joint national training day with colleagues from the National Association of Social Workers in Education NASWE. The event will be held on Friday 27th April at Maple House in central Birmingham (Postcode B4 6TB). We have opted for a single day so that it can be competitively priced and hopefully allow as many members as possible to attend, even if some of you have to pay for yourselves due to the demise of dedicated EWS training budgets! For the first time we are collaborating with the NASWE to put on a joint conference programme. Further details will be posted here shortly but we aim to ensure that the price remains below £100 and that all the topics offered are not only relevant, but also attractive to senior managers! However, please note that this year we are also introducing new measurers to ensure that those who can benefit from the discounted rate will now need to be fully paid up members prior to booking. Confirmed topics for the day will include: - A not to be missed update from Charlie Taylor, the coalition government’s Behaviour and Attendance Advisor (with an opportunity to ask questions)
- Local Authority duties in relation to ‘children in need’ and how this fits with education welfare (session being run by a Barrister from Legal Action Group).
- Working with Academies (looking at relative statutory responsibilities and also traded services developments)
- Education Supervision Orders (and where do they sit in the DfE’s current views on measures to secure regular school attendance?)
- ‘Hard Times’ – New models for delivering effective and value for money education welfare services
- Safeguarding workshop

Association for Education Welfare Management |
|
|
The Association for Education Welfare Management provides professional support for Managers in Education Social Work (ESW), the Education Welfare Service (EWS) and safeguarding in education. It has been doing this since its formation in 1917.
We help deliver effective and competent services, accessible to children, families and schools by maintaining a network of fellow professionals and providing a forum for members to share, support and consult. Our objectives are... To promote and safeguard the rights of children and young persons and to establish and foster co-operation with other organisations working in the interests of children and young persons. To advance the professional interests of its members. To promote and improve the ethos of social inclusion. To encourage the development and training of all staff in education welfare and social inclusion. To disseminate information to the membership on developments in education welfare and social inclusion.
We have links with Government and other political and professional bodies including the Department for Children, Schools & Families, CSF, Teacher Associations and Unions and our sister organisation NASWE. Members receive information on current issues and potential changes affecting their work and are given opportunities to comment on consultation documents. They are also offered training and supporting literature. Regional groups meet quarterly to provide a forum for debate, exchange of views and a vehicle for the provision and discussion of information. |
