Generative AI is all around us and here to stay, so it is important for BASW members to engage in and lead conversations about when and how, as Social Workers, we should be using AI in our practice.
Building on both BASW’s AI guidance and BASW England’s 80:20 Campaign Top Tips resource, this practice forum will give you the opportunity to critically reflect on and join a discussion on the opportunities and risks of AI, with a particular focus on the role of AI in relationship based social work practice.
The mindfulness-based social work and self-care (MBSWSC) programme focusses on improving social work practice and self-care. It is a programme which has developed a strong evidence base for its effectiveness at reducing stress, emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation of service users, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improving well-being and a range of social work practice skills and competencies.
