In this online presentation the Deputy Advocate in the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate will give an overview of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and explore ways it can impact the work of child welfare social workers, teachers in the classroom, lawyers in Family Court or Youth Criminal Court, business owners in communities as well as parents and other family members at home. The seminar will seek to give practical insights into ways in which all of us can improve children’s knowledge and lived experience of their rights through the work we do. It will also equip front line workers who interact regularly with children with the basic knowledge they need to step into their roles as duty-bearers to children under the Convention.

Dans ce webinaire, le défenseur adjoint et conseiller juridique principal du Bureau du défenseur des enfants, des jeunes et des aînés donne un aperçu de la Convention des Nations-Unies relative aux droits de l’enfant et des effets de la convention sur le travail des travailleuses sociales et les travailleurs sociaux en bien-être de l’enfance, le personnel enseignant, les avocats et avocates dans les tribunaux de la famille et des adolescents, les propriétaires d’entreprises dans nos collectivités et les parents et membres des familles dans les foyers. Le webinaire vise à offrir des idées pratiques sur les façons dont nous pouvons tous, dans le travail que nous accomplissons, améliorer les connaissances des enfants en matière des droits et la façon dont ces droits sont appliqués dans leur vie. Il vise aussi à communiquer aux membres du personnel de première ligne qui interagissent régulièrement avec des enfants les connaissances fondamentales dont ils ont besoin pour accomplir leur devoir envers les enfants en vertu de la convention.

This is the first session in a three part series. We encourage you to sign up for all three sessions. 

Trans youth are part of a increasingly visible group in society but their experience is still little misundersood and their needs remains largely unmet.
 

This three-part webinar series aims at exploring the experience of trans youth and their families, as well a how social work can respond to some of their needs. This session, Part 1, will explore some of the basic concepts and latest research evidence in order to better understand trans youth's experience. 

Part 2 will discuss of the experiences of families who care for trans children and youth.  Finally, part 3 will discuss how social work, by its values and missions, can intervene and facilitate social change to improve the lives of trans children, youth and families.

This presentation will address teaching and learning processes that lead to effective social work graduates. A long-standing multi-project program of research on social work education has identified a model of holistic competence for all levels of social work practice. This model guides the design and testing of innovative approaches to teach and assess students’ practice. Simulation-based learning prepares, bridges, and enhances engagement in field learning. The presentation will draw from these experiences and research to identify best practices for field education.

This session is being delivered in partnership with Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) School of Social Work.
