BASW and SWU action

The government must put an end to the unofficial and ongoing shadow system of hotel accommodation for children not born in the UK.

BASW Cymru and the Social Workers Union wish you a fabulous South Asian Heritage Month and we invite you to share your stories and celebrations with us.

BASW’s Chief Executive, Dr Ruth Allen, has written to both leadership candidates (Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak) about the need to address core issues such as poverty and social work services.

Share your views and experiences.

Our focus in this response, on behalf of our members, is on the implications for the social work profession, social workers, and on the potential impact on the children and families served by the profession.

Brexit, the pandemic and austerity are recognised as major issues that continue to impact access to adult social care.

The Bill was published last month following the UK Government’s consultation on reform of the Human Rights Act.
