Jim Broad is a schools re-integration officer and Branch Secretary of Doncaster UNISON. Jim will be talking about his recent suspension for giving press interviews Channel 4 news in support of Doncaster children’s services. Witnessing our services being steadily privatised and being vilified in the press, has left many of us feeling ‘I didn’t come into social work for this’. Picking up on this theme, Steven Cowden will lead a session on how we can begin to develop a progressive and radical alternative.
This Midlands half-day conference is open to Students, Social Workers, Academics, Service Users and their Supporters. Registration is easy - Just send us your details by Email and turn up on the day. Unlike all other social work conferences SWAN aims to put this event on at no charge. It is also proposed to elect a SWAN regional steering group at this event.

The theme of the conference is intended to reflect one of Canada’s central strengths. This strength is the remarkable way in which, though a country marked by unusual diversity – linguistic, cultural, ethnic, regional and political, to name only the most obvious – it has nevertheless been able to contain these dynamic forces within a state of creative tension that has shaped the society as a whole. Taking this as our starting point, we invite individual papers from a wide variety of disciplines dealing with all aspects of the study of Canada, including but not limited to topics such as:
- Cultural diversity
- Democratic processes and human rights
- Social cohesion
- Canadian polity
- Social diversity in Canadian literature
- Emigrant writing
- The city in literature
- Intercultural dialogues in literature
- Canadian cultural narratives
- Cultural regionalism
- A nation in the making: historical perspectives
