A meeting for open to all Social Workers Union members with Campaign Collective, who provide expert support for campaign strategy and delivery.
From Union Contacts' feedback, we know that social workers are struggling with high caseloads and are worried about the risks these pose. Additionally, there are new rules and legislation being considered by the government that could make this workload even worse.
This will be a chance for us to discuss how we can approach campaigning, especially since many of the issues are shared.

Assisted Dying: What’s being proposed and how does that affect social workers?
Webinar: 24th March, GMT 12-1pm
The UK Parliament is currently considering legislation for England and Wales that would allow assisted dying (AD). Similar legislation is before the Scottish Parliament. Both sets of legislation have a potential impact on social work.
Mental capacity is key to assisted dying (does the person have capacity to make an irreversible decision?) as is adult safeguarding – both key social work responsibilities.
