With one week to go before the BASW/SWU parliamentary reception – there is still time to urge your MP to find out more about the working conditions for social workers and to pledge their support.
BASW England members have been directly involved in this work and we call upon social workers and the wider social care sector to share and discuss these priorities.
BASW England welcomes the outcome of the consultation led by the Local Government Association (LGA) titled “The Lives We Want to Lead”. As we await the delayed government green paper, it is essential we consider the future of adult social care as the current crisis continues to escalate impacting upon individuals, families, carers and the social care workforce. Read our response.
Social Work England (SWE) have launched their first public consultation on Social Work England’s appointment rules, which form part of the legislative framework underpinning the work of the organisation.
BASW and RiPfA are seeking two social workers working with people who have learning disabilities to join the Stakeholder Reference Group to oversee this project.
