World Social Work Day 2024
Today, BASW proudly stands together with social workers across the globe to celebrate World Social Work Day 2024.
It is a day to acknowledge, recognise and show appreciation for the hard work, care and dedication of social workers everywhere. Thank you for all you do everyday.
World Social Work Day is also a platform to promote and champion the vital role of social work in supporting communities to thrive, upholding and protecting human rights, advocating for a fairer society and driving positive change in people’s lives.
This year’s theme considers the importance of community-led approaches in our profession, grounded in indigenous wisdom and harmonious co-existence with nature.
BASW hosts a variety of activities throughout March to celebrate World Social Work Day and to bring our profession together for connectedness, shared learning and fellowship. View our Amazing Social Worker campaign paying tribute to the achievements of social workers across the UK as nominated by their colleagues, and our programme of professional development events and workshops.
BASW Chief Executive, Dr Ruth Allen wishes social workers across the UK and around the globe a very happy World Social Work Day!
