Training with us
Our core values
The Centre for Systemic Social Work is guided by our core values of respect, appreciation and integrity.
We:
- commit to consistently scrutinising our ability to notice and actively challenge racism, oppression and the misuse of power
- aim to create learning environments where different values, beliefs and perspectives are shared openly and constructively
- welcome feedback on your experience of working with us, so we can keep improving what we do
Our tutors seek to work in partnership with participants and be responsive and adaptive to group and individual needs. We provide a variety of additional support services for course participants and consistently review learning materials to accommodate different learning styles and ensuring representation from voices and perspectives traditionally marginalised in academic settings.
What our courses include
Our courses include:
- formal taught components
- group discussions
- student led learning
- group exercises
We aim to create clear theory to practice links with participants encouraged to practise skills and techniques using examples from their own work.
Course content and key discussion themes aim to reflect the diversity of work undertaken in Children’s Social Care contexts, with attention paid to policy, legislation and current issues.
Costs and booking process
We do not offer places on our training programme on an individual basis.

Course running times
These are the course running times:
- arrive at least 15 minutes before your session to allow time for signing in and to ensure a prompt start
- a typical training day runs from 10am to 3.45pm, although timings may change
- courses begin on time, regardless of how many delegates are present, arriving late can disrupt the session and affect other participant's learning
