A guide from SASW and the Pet Fostering Service Scotland to help social workers who support people with pets who may need to leave home for a length of time.
Social Work professional capabilities in specialist work with older people to ensure that older people have the best experiences and outcomes possible.
This Guide brings together best practice on age assessment, useful techniques and information as well as exploring the relationship between existing and new legislation on age assessment and the implications.
This brief guidance has been compiled to support social workers in formulating a response to families, following round table events that identified the wide range of social work settings where social workers were responding with limited guidance and training.
Given the risk of political priorities intruding on professional objectivity, BASW is discouraging our members, as well as other social workers from applying for, or taking up, age assessment roles in the National Age Assessment Board (NAAB).
