PEHR’s main role is to advise BASW Council when developing policies and position statements to ensure that they promote respect for human rights and are consistent with BASW’s Code of Ethics.
We warmly welcome diverse perspectives in accomplishing this important task.
Through participation in this work, the role additionally provides an opportunity to strengthen your CV.
Successful candidates will normally serve for a two-year period which can be extended for a further two-year period.
There are usually 4 meetings per year. These meetings are “hybrid” so members may join either online or in person. When joining in-person, reasonable travelling expenses will be met. There is also an expectation that committee members progress work between formal meetings when required.
