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.
