BASW and SWU took a significant step in influencing policy makers yesterday by lobbying MPs from across the country and political divide to improve working conditions for social workers at a parliamentary reception.
The UK as a whole voted to leave the EU, although in both Scotland and Northern Ireland the majority vote was for remain. This statement provides an update on the BASW statement on Brexit issued in October 2017.
BASW would like to hear your views on the types of social work learning, events and activities you would find valuable in building Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for you or the people you are working with.
BASW Cymru is calling for a poverty strategy that sets out clearly how poverty will be eradicated, following the recent UN Statement on poverty in the UK.
With one week to go before the BASW/SWU parliamentary reception – there is still time to urge your MP to find out more about the working conditions for social workers and to pledge their support.
