Dr Julie Lawrence

My research interests are focused within the social work discipline and include the following areas:

  • Professional ethics
  • Social justice
  • Poverty
  • Human Rights.

I am also interested in social work and its contribution towards inter-agency practice alongside allied professionals.

I am currently managing a funded project on behalf of Salford Citizens Advice, as the Principal Investigator. The project is called Help through Crisis and is a National Lottery (national) initiative, which is about people who need support when in crisis.

I am also involved in a Greater Manchester Pilot Project about the development of social workers undertaking a Practice Supervisor role, supporting other social workers in practice.

Postgraduate Research Supervision Interests

Topic areas of interest for supervision include:

Social work focused upon adults. This can include learning disabilities, mental health issues and complex health and social care needs. I also have an interest within inter-professional and multi-disciplinary practice across professions, within organisations.
