Unity 2025

Relational Practice as a concept within the caring professions (including Child & Youth Care, Social Care, Social Work, Education, Medicine, Psychology etc), has grown from the work of many pioneers over recent decades. Now, within a post-Covid, AI, and politically unstable landscape, it has become ever more necessary that the hard fought for ‘learning and leadership’ continues to be remembered and built on by the younger generations of practitioners, educators and researchers.

Speakers from around the world will present across a spectrum of related topics that can be viewed as relevant to the ‘leading and learning’ themes. Sessions will speak to the relevance and utility of the conference theme and support attendees to build on what we already know to shape future leadership.
