RESEARCH

Osiris Training & Consultancy Ltd is active in terms of research in social work. Since our formation we have
undertaken the following:

Error Theory in social care for Nexus Conferences on February 28th
2003 (Barbican Centre) to representatives from many Local Authorities and related organisations. 

The Nexus presentation and seminar was based upon Alan Cooper’s  Chapter 6: “Risk and the Framework for Assessment” in Calder MC and Hackett S (eds.) (2003) Assessment in Child care: Using and developing frameworks for practice. Dorset: Russell House Publishing.
