BASW England and the Social Workers Union highlight the 'Homes Not Hospitals' campaign for World Autism Awareness Week 2021. BASW England and the Autism Alliance will launch a suite of resources for social workers on May 10.
International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV) is an annual event observed around the world on March 31. SWU Stands in solidarity with SWU and BASW trans and non-binary members and their right to live and work free from discrimination.
Together, they will work collaboratively with members and colleagues to support the delivery of BASW’s equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy - alongside exploring how anti-oppressive and anti-racist practice can be developed and implemented across the social work sector.
It is well known that one of the best support mechanisms for the psychological wellbeing of social workers is support from both peers and managers. Over the last three years SWU, BASW, and Dr Jermaine Ravalier at Bath Spa University have been developing support mechanisms for social worker working conditions and psychological wellbeing. Bath Spa University and SWU will now work together on a new piece of research which seeks to develop and make available best practise supervision for social workers and related professionals.
