World Social Work Day
A global celebration of social work in Portsmouth
Every year, children's social care at Portsmouth City Council celebrates its workforce and the children and families they support.
World Social Work Day is a key event in the calendar for social care practitioners around the world, to stand together and celebrate their profession.
In 2024, the theme focused on the need for social workers to adopt innovative, community-led approaches to support adults and families.
Our #ProudToBePortsmouth practitioners across adult and children's social care have come together to develop their knowledge through a day of continuing professional development alongside opportunities to network.
Take a look back at how we recognised the work of our social care teams to create a shared future for transformative change.
