This session will be delivered by Child Sexual Abuse survivor and founder of The Flying Child, Sophie Olson, and consultant children’s social worker Sarah Pritchard. They will use the powerful tool of storytelling to illustrate the child’s experience leading into the survivor’s journey, and the social harms faced.
In this session we will explore what we mean by personal outcomes and some of the challenges and opportunities in recording them. We will also explore how we might use them as a catalyst for learning and practice development and how we maintain the voice of the person in our recording.
This session is FREE to BASW Cymru members however non-members may attend as a free taster session.

We know from research that the biggest influence on the supervision you provide is the supervision that you receive. There is often very little training to support social workers as they journey into the supervisor role.
This session will look at the What? Why? How? framework in relation to supervision.
We will consider the key questions of what is supervision? Why is good quality supervision in social work important?
Did you know that about 1 in 4 social workers in Scotland at any time is going through a phase of menopause? Despite its significant impact on professional lives, menopause remains a rarely discussed topic. This session is a must-attend for all women who are menopausal or approaching that stage, as well as anyone working alongside them – basically, everyone in social work! Join us as we dive into an open conversation about working conditions, rights, and the support available. Let’s break the silence and create a more supportive work environment together.
Supported by BASW, the Neurodivergent Social Workers Special Interest Group (NSW SIG) is a SIG for neurodivergent social workers, and professionals within social care.

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.
Share your experiences of studying or starting your social work career in Scotland as a new graduate - good or bad- with fellow students and NQSWs. Let’s reflect on topics and work on solutions in a supportive informal environment. All welcome!
