BASW wants to hear your queries and experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic. This will help us support you and all social workers, speak out social work and the rights of people using services, and create a record of this challenging period that we can learn from.
People in public-facing jobs across all sectors – including social work – have been subjected to rising hostility and abuse since the end of the COVID-19 lockdowns. SWU has been approached by Olivia Blake MP – one of several cross-party MPs backing the ICS’s Service with Respect campaign – to become involved.
BASW has set out 40 priorities for the next UK Government that we’ll be highlighted to all political parties ahead of the General Election. Our blog series takes a deeper look at each of the policy asks in turn.
