General Election 2024 UK Manifesto for social work
BASW’s Manifesto for Social Work outlines 40 ambitious policy actions for MPs to take forward; delivering for the social work profession, for people who use social work services, and for our wider society.
The manifesto has been created through a combination of BASW’s pre-existing campaigning and influencing work, feedback from members and people with lived experience and information captured in our annual social work surveys.
Whilst this is a UK-wide election, the manifesto acknowledges that many social work issues are devolved. It is therefore divided into four parts to clearly identify and explain what areas affect the whole of the UK, or specific nations only. Each nation also has their own version.
Details for how to share our manifesto with your candidates will be available in our General Election hub in due course. Meantime, you can find contact details for your MP on the UK Parliament website.
