NSCSW Lunch & Learn: Creating a culture of safety & justice

Nova Scotia College of Social Workers

Nova Scotia social workers are invited to join an exploration of safety principles and practices in a social justice context.

Anti-racist & anti-discriminatory practice

Members of the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers are required to complete annual professional development, which must include training related to anti-racist and anti-discriminatory practice. See https://nscsw.org/pd/#pdMandated for more info.

<p>Bring your lunch and join Naj online to explore evidence-based health care theories around safety practices and just culture. Let&#x27;s discuss how these principles interact with the way we understand systemic bias and social injustice, and how we can build our society into one in which everyone will have the opportunity to thrive. </p><h2>Eligibility</h2><p>There are no prerequisites for this session.
