Today saw the inaugural meeting of our Social Work Law in Wales - Policy Practice and Education Group. Our primary objectives are; to be a resource to members and the wider social work profession in Wales, to promote and support legal knowledge, competence and confidence in practice and to respond to relevant Governmental Consultation and reviews.
BASW England are developing a capabilities statement and CPD pathway for social workers working with adults with learning disabilities and are asking carers to complete the survey to support this work.
BASW is working with MPs to share insights into what it is like to practice social work with children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
The Social Workers Union (SWU) have submitted a response to the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee inquiry into funding and provision of local authorities’ children’s services.
On behalf of BASW we would like to send festive wishes to all our members and social workers across the UK, and invite you all to send special thoughts to social workers working over the holiday period.
