BASW is hosting a webinar to mark the 15th anniversary of the first airing of BBC Panorama’s shocking investigation into abuse at Winterbourne View on Monday 1 June.
The webinar will explore what has and hasn’t changed in policy and practice in the last 15 years and hear about the work of the BASW England-supported Homes not Hospitals campaign.
The panel is jointly run by the Scottish Association of Social Work, the Office of the Chief Social Work Adviser, and Social Work Scotland. The panel was created to bring together experienced frontline workers, newly qualified workers, students and policy makers in Government to address the issues affecting social work today. It is an opportunity to influence those policy makers and the future of social work with your experience and knowledge.

Join us for this companion event to BASW England's Annual Members Meeting, launching two new resources shaped by BASW members - the Professional Capabilities Framework Refresh and the Social Work in Multi-Disciplinary Practice Guidance.
We'll hear a short presentation from contributors to each resource followed by a Q&A. We'll then have some time to discuss how to get involved with developing resources with BASW and hear your suggestions about potential resources we should create in the future.
The home visit and supervision are fundamental practices of statutory social work. Supervisors are expected to fulfil a number of functions, and support workers to deliver relationship based, outcome focussed practice in line with the Social Services and Wellbeing Act. Despite the significance given to supervision and practice, the interaction and influence of one on the other is seldom discussed.
