Who is this conference for and why attend?

This conference is for anyone who works directly with adults, young people, children and families, or who manages or supervises this work.

Group relations conferences offer an opportunity for experiential learning through participating in, and reflecting on, the various group events that take place each day.

Learning is not prescribed but can include a clearer understanding of:

• the conscious and unconscious processes that influence how we behave in a range of group and organisational settings
• different ways of taking up leadership and followership roles and of exercising authority
• the impact of diversity, hierarchy and power structures on individual responses and group behaviour
• how the dynamics of differing professional practices impact on authority and the interplay of this with individually held stereotypes, assumptions and beliefs
• the tensions involved in working with clients across multiple agencies; what facilitates collaboration and the forces that may work against it
• what can help and what can get in the way of being able to effectively take up our roles within our work settings

Conference fees

• External Applicant: £670
• Internal Applicant: £530

Closing date for applications: Friday 17 March 2023
