Join us for the relaunch event of the BASW London Branch focusing on realities for social workers working in London.
We'll be joined by speakers Nana Yabbey-Hagan and Dr Adi Cooper who will be speaking about current conditions working with children and adults respectively. We will also look at the initial findings from the BASW London Working Conditions Survey, to see what it tells us and what do we need to do about it.
This event carries on a Worcestershire BASW Branch tradition of bringing the power of song and poetry into social work.
It is an in-person evening with a difference, featuring social workers and people with lived experience sharing their own and others’ work, with material that resonates with social work and it wider policy concerns.
The university of Worcester has a large number of Nigerian MA students, some of whom will bring songs and poems from their own cultures to share.
