This interactive workshop will be chaired by BASW member Valerie Chopamba. We’ll explore how BASW members and student members have used our new Shades of Bias tool and reflect together on how it can be applied to different forms of discrimination in the workplace and in education.
Other speakers include Pauline Sergeant from the Black Professionals Symposium, Angela Agbala, Chair of the Student & NQSW group, and Jenni Burton from the Professional Capabilities and Development Group.
Join BASW members for an opportunity to spotlight and celebrate the varied and diverse roles that social workers undertake in communities, which play a key part in the prevention agenda. We will be joined by Chief Social Worker for Adults, Sarah McClinton.
We know that the prevention agenda is often referred to in terms of models which divert people from needing statutory services local authority services or NHS services, but today’s session will explore so much more than that.
Join us for this year’s flagship SASW Conference, bringing together social workers, students, educators, and policymakers from across Scotland and beyond to reflect, share, and create change.
This one-day online event explores the role of activism in social work.
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.
