Technology, including AI, can be really useful, but it also brings risks around things like privacy, safety, and people’s rights. In this session, an expert from Blake Morgan LLP will talk about some of these challenges, the laws around these complex social work practice issues and think about how social workers can deal with these issues effectively.

Learning outcomes

In this session we’ll:

  • examine how social media, surveillance, and new technologies affect social work practice
  • look at how to balance individual’s rights with effective risk management
  • explain the legal and professional frameworks that support decision making, illustrated with social work practice examples.
