SASW Independents Symposium Connecting, Collaborating and Shaping the Future of Independent Social Work in Scotland

The SASW Independents Symposium offers a dedicated space for independent social workers across Scotland to come together, connect with colleagues, expand professional networks, and engage in meaningful discussion about their role and contribution within the evolving social work landscape.

This event will provide opportunities to share experiences, exchange ideas, and explore both the challenges and opportunities facing independent practitioners. Attendees will hear about the range of support, resources and professional benefits available through the BASW offer for independent social workers, helping them to maximise their professional development and strengthen their practice.

Importantly, the symposium will also serve as a platform for independent social workers to have their voices heard. SASW is keen to engage directly with independent practitioners to better understand their experiences and identify the support, services and opportunities they would like to see developed in the future.

Whether you are an established independent social worker or new to independent practice, this event provides an excellent opportunity to build connections, contribute to the conversation, and help shape the future direction of support for independent social workers in Scotland.

Join us to network, influence, and be part of a growing community of independent social work professionals.

Delivered via MS Teams. Contact scotland@basw.co.uk if you have any queries.
