NorthTec hosts speaker on children’s experience of family discipline at National Social Workers’ Day breakfast

NorthTec ‘s Social Services department is hosting a breakfast to acknowledge National Social Workers’ Day on 23 September.

An invited audience of social services sector representatives will meet at NorthTec’s Interactive Learning Centre at the Whangarei campus and listen to guest speaker Terry Dobbs sharing some of the results of her research about children and young people’s experience of family discipline.

Dobbs’ master’s thesis “Insights – Children and Young People Speak Out About Family Discipline” involved interviewing children about how they felt about parental discipline. Her thesis was subsequently published by Save The Children.

(The breakfast will begin at 7:30am with Terry Dobbs scheduled to begin her speech at 8am).
