Working Conditions

Too many of our members are working in unacceptable conditions, with increasing caseloads and complexity whilst numbers of social workers are reducing! 

BASW Northern have been proud to represent social workers in meetings with decision makers and in the media. 

BASW NI been working to bring about change and are pleased that the Department of Health funded the Social Work Professional Support Service bringing its much-needed support free to any social worker in Northern Ireland.
