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.
Join the BASW Cymru team at your Annual Members' Meeting where we will look back over the past year at our activities, events and achievements and consider our aims and priorities for the coming 12 months. We invite you to join your association to help set those aims and priorities. BASW Cymru is the voice for social work in Wales. We want to hear from you so that we can be your voice.
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.
⭐ Part of BASW's Taught Skills Development Programme ⭐
Delivered by BASW’s accredited training partner DCC-i via MS Teams.
This one-day programme is designed as a peer learning experience and refresher, providing detailed case law/practice updates and a reflective space to support those working in-depth with MCA and DoLS processes, BIA colleagues in practice, authorisers, and mental health assessors to explore these current issues in practice.
Most Continuing Health Care (CHC) training is designed and delivered by the NHS. It teaches you about the process of CHC, but it can leave you none the wiser about how CHC really works or how to ensure it is fair.
Nor does it address the vital social justice and ethical issues: why are people being asked to pay for health care that should be free?
In this session, Andrew Reece, BASW England’s strategic lead for Wales and England, will help you understand how to challenge CHC determinations through understanding the legal limits of social care.
