BASW Cymru Practice Workshop: Communication and Outcomes in a Complex World of Social Work in Wales - Wednesday, 18 March 2026 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Communication is vital in Welsh social work because it builds trust, enables co-production, and ensures culturally sensitive, rights-based practice—directly improving outcomes for individuals. When communication is clear, inclusive, and empathetic, people are more likely to engage, feel empowered, and receive support that meets their needs. • In Wales, communication is not just a skill—it’s a core intervention. • It affects how individuals experience services, understand their rights, and participate in decisions. • Investing in reflective, inclusive, and culturally competent communication leads to better outcomes, stronger relationships, and more ethical practice.
