BASW welcomes the UK Government’s decision, announced by Justice Secretary Alex Chalk KC in the House of Commons on 27 June 2023, not to proceed with their proposed Bill of Rights.
BASW was delighted to recognise the outstanding contributions to social work of both June Thoburn and David Jones at our recent Annual General Meeting.
Thank you to everyone who joined us either in-person or remotely for our annual national conference- recognising and championing the social work profession across the UK.
Members have been contacting SASW (the Scottish Association of Social Work) and SWU (the Social Workers Union) with concerns that pay levels and working conditions for social workers are falling behind other public service professionals.
