SWU is establishing a ‘campaign’ fund for our members to call on to ensure campaigns throughout 2021/22 can be responsive to changing priorities, quick to deliver and high impact.

This BASW England position statement has been formulated based on the feedback of members, social work academics, practitioners, managers, and students.

Rebekah Pierre, BASW England Professional Officer, reflects on how social workers can better support deaf people who experience domestic abuse.

Together, BASW and SWU will continue to campaign for social worker safety in the workplace.
