Newham Social Welfare Alliance
The Social Welfare Alliance is supporting all frontline workers, volunteers and champions with information and referral pathways to support residents around income maximisation, immigration support and advice, early years, housing issues and much more.
The purpose of this is to enhance the skills you already have! And facilitate you getting in touch with others having similar conversations across the borough.
The training sessions are for anyone in the borough who is regularly having conversations with residents who are presenting with a range of social welfare issues. It applies to any of the borough-wide workforce who engage with residents through support services, and in community, food, or clinical settings where there are underlying issues affecting their health. Speedy and efficient support and/or signposting in these situations can make an immediate difference.
All sessions are free to attend and being delivered online. You will need to sign up via the Eventbrite links. Once registered, you will receive the link to join nearer to the time of the planned training.
