BASW Cymru welcomes the First Minister’s announcement that social care workers in Wales will receive a £500 payment in recognition of the essential work undertaken by this “under-valued and overlooked” workforce.
BASW England members have been directly involved in this work and we call upon social workers and the wider social care sector to share and discuss these priorities.
New guidelines for social workers on how to help people with ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) have been recommended under the National ME/CFS Delivery Plan.
