Black & Ethnic Minority Professionals Symposium (BPS)

The Black & Ethnic Minority Professionals Symposium (BPS) is a safe online space for Black & Ethnic Minority social workers to educate, empower and equip themselves to navigate the various institutional and structural obstacles they face as professionals.  The BPS is a necessary opportunity to role-model Black and ethnic minority excellence, professionalism and unity.

The aims and objectives of the group are to:

1. Provide a safe space for Black and ethnic minority social workers to offload
2. A caucus that generates strategies and tactics to influence social work policy, practice and education
3. To role-model Black and ethnic minority excellence, professionalism and unity
4. To evaluate existing frameworks and systems within social work to improve the impact they have on Black and ethnic minority social workers
5. To partner with relevant external agencies and organisations to promote Black and ethnic minority empowerment and professional credibility.

Due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter discussed, this is a closed group.  Please contact wayne.reid@basw.co.uk for more information.
