An update on the petition for student bursaries in Scotland.

SASW are calling on the Scottish Government to offer social workers and social care workers a fair mileage rate, on a par with NHS colleagues, for travel while working.

All social workers and social work students in the UK are welcome to attend this free online advice and representation session.

Social work students, with support from SWU and SASW, explained the challenges they face and the need for better bursary support in Scotland.

Social work students in England have secured support from the Social Workers Union Campaign Fund in their call for fairer bursaries.

Student social workers in Scotland have been offered a meeting with the Minister for Higher Education as part of their campaign to secure bursaries for students on full-time placements.

Support Scottish social work students by signing the petition before it closes on 3 January 2023.

SWU is pleased to announce that funding for the SWU Campaign Fund has been renewed through 2022-2023 so that members can continue to set campaign priorities and engage in activism.
