For World Social Work Day #WSWD2020 we join with social workers across the UK and worldwide to celebrate and recognise our profession’s vital work across global communities - today and every day.
BASW wants to hear your queries and experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic. This will help us support you and all social workers, speak out social work and the rights of people using services, and create a record of this challenging period that we can learn from.
Information on this page aims to provide a hub of information to support social workers with advice and guidance which has been issued by Government, regulators and health professionals.
