A couple of months ago, I wrote a blog about BASW Council https://www.basw.co.uk/media/news/2019/jun/chairs-blog-what-has-basw-council-ever-done-us. In the spirit of keeping members informed about what we are up to, I will be writing an update after each Council meeting.
As part of BASW England's commitment to engage with politicians around social work, we created a manifesto with the six issues that we would be campaigning on over the coming year.
BASW calls upon the government, Social Work England, HEIs, placement providers, Student Finance England to develop a co-ordinated transitional national action plan to support social work students at this time.
