Brexit, the pandemic and austerity are recognised as major issues that continue to impact access to adult social care.

BASW England calls on the government to act now and invest in adult social care, or risk a devastating crisis this winter and beyond.

We need to ensure the workforce is protected and that this Bill will bring better care and support to people in Scotland.

Nicola and Sally - two carers who work with BASW - share their experiences as we mark Carers Week 2022.

Nobody should accept derogatory language that seeks to locate the blame with the person currently in hospital - as if they are somehow responsible for another person having to wait.

We maintain our position that the priority must be people’s wellbeing not making space in hospitals.

SWU is establishing a ‘campaign’ fund for our members to call on to ensure campaigns throughout 2021/22 can be responsive to changing priorities, quick to deliver and high impact.

The proposals must give people the opportunity to be listened to, heard, and involved in making decisions about their care and treatment.

BASW England is consulting with members on the proposals within the Health and Care Bill and the implications for social work.
