We have six free CPD accredited webinar recordings and resources in which researchers and practitioners discuss the role of artificial intelligence in social care and explore whether AI could improve social work and outcomes for children, young people and their families: buff.ly/f6pVNJb

A graphic promoting four free webinars on the CELCIS website about artificial Intelligence in children's social care. They are: 

1) What could AI mean for children's social care? 

2) Can AI improve decision-making and outcomes when it comes to children's care and protection? 

3) What are the impacts of using AI transcription tools in social care? 

4) Is AI your new critical friend in social work practice?

5) Companion, advisor or misguided friend? What do we need to know about the relationships children and young people have with AI and chatbots?

6) Where’s the harm? Protecting children from online sexual abuse and risk in the age of artificial intelligence

We are off! We will be live posting here from #YJConf26 bringing you all the updates from across today’s events as we explore this year’s theme, ‘Diversity, Inequality and Justice.’ If you need help throughout, grab a member of the CYCJ team - they're wearing the purple lanyards!
