The government has updated information on a proposed Coronavirus bill. We have set out what the main elements are for social work.

I think it is safe to say that the Coronavirus outbreak has somewhat overshadowed World Social Work Day - despite this, it has never been more important to emphasise and reflect on its theme.

We are dedicating WSWD to collecting and sharing your stories and images of your work.
