Read SASW's statement on the delay of the National Care Service Bill

Recognising the unique and important contribution that social workers make during lockdown and beyond

BASW's general election manifesto for Scotland has been launched. Read our asks of the next UK Government on social work policies that affect Scotland.

To quote the prime minister’s first speech on the steps of Downing Street, the country "voted decisively for change, for national renewal" and the scale of the task in England that the new government inherits cannot be underestimated.

Over 100 civil society organisations – including BASW UK – have written to the Prime Minister, calling for the Government to abandon the proposed cut, which is worth over £1000 a year.

On Monday, the Social Workers Union (SWU) will be asking its members to vote on whether the union can advise/lead its members to strike in the future.
