Welcome to our ‘Spotlight Sessions’ – events designed to raise awareness of an idea, approach or research that we believe could interest and inspire those involved in Social Work, Social Care, Health and related Third and Voluntary sectors. These sessions are open to all and recommended for anyone across all sectors interested in understanding more.


As Leading to Change, we are delivering a series of awareness sessions relating to core themes within Social Work and Social Care with the intention of ‘shining a light’ into the areas of the sector that others may know very little or nothing about.
We want to give people insights into roles and functions and the impact on ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ with a view to reinforcing the message about collaborative leadership and the difference it can make.

This session will show you where to find and how to use resources available via The Knowledge Network. There will be a demo and time to try it out yourself and ask questions.  By the end of the session you will be able to:

  • Find journals, articles and eBooks on The Knowledge Network library search
  • Run a more focused search using boolean operators and library filters

This session is suitable for existing and new users of The Knowledge Network.
