Welcome to this ‘mini series’ where we look at the impact of social workers in different settings. In the first webinar on 21st June we hear from the CASCADE team who led the evaluation of the Social Workers in Schools (SWIS) programme in England, the largest ever Randomised Controlled Trial of its type in secondary schools.

In our second webinar on 22nd June we present the second set of interim findings from a three-year evaluation of the Together a Chance service, a pilot project placing a social worker in two women’s prisons.  Finally, our third webinar on 23rd June is a re-release of the Social Workers in Hospitals webinar from 2021.
