BASW Cymru were delighted to collaborate with Social Care Wales on ‘Celebrating Social Work’ - two conferences held in Cardiff and Llandudno in late October and early November 2023.
Bath Spa University (BSU) and The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) have been successful in their bid to refine and deliver the 2023/24 workforce survey to social care workers in Wales.
From the outset, BASW has viewed the proposed role for care home managers as unworkable and is pleased to see the government’s recognition of sector opposition to the proposal.
The all-island study into social work identity is being conducted by BASW NI in partnership with its counterpart in the Republic of Ireland and social work regulators.
The Chairs of the British Association of Social Workers Northern Ireland and the Irish Association of Social Workers have jointly written to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Karen Bradley MP, and An Tánaiste, Simon Coveney TD, highlighting grave concerns about the potential impacts of Brexit on the social work profession on the island of Ireland.
