Letter to Parliamentary Candidates | General Election 2024

Template letter for BASW members to use when contacting their local candidates in the General Election.

The template focuses on BASW's manifesto for social work - urging candidates to support our asks for a better support profession, improved working conditions, and a fairer society across the UK. It also calls on candidates to commit to working with BASW to ensure our manifesto asks are delivered.

‘Who Can I Vote For’ is a reliable website you can use to find your local candidates and their contact details.

As well as sharing BASW's UK manifesto, you might also want to include a copy of the nation-specific version, depending on where you are based in the UK.

We would be very interested to hear any responses you receive from your candidates- particularly if they pledge to support any of our campaign asks and want to work with us in the next parliament.

Please forward any replies to our Political Affairs Lead, Kerri Prince on kerri.prince@basw.co.uk
