BASW England is creating a toolkit to inform employers and the government about what support social workers need to enable more relationship-based practice.
BASW England have refreshed the 2018 survey which resulted in campaigning to reverse the trend which saw children and families social workers spending just 20% of their time in direct contact with families. The 2021 survey will now also look at social workers working with adults and inform future activity in the campaign to uphold relationship-based social work.
Last week I gave a talk to the Academy of Social Justice about Living Our Values: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in BASW - the sad fact is we are still a fair way from fully embedding equality, diversity and inclusion in social work systems
SWU General Secretary John McGowan and BASW Professional Officer Rebekah Pierre have been invited to speak at Westminster Education Forum seminars on 29 September 2022.
