A year since it launched, The role of the social worker in adoption – ethics and human rights: An Enquiry, a podcast to discuss its impact and ongoing relevance was held this week by BASW.
The Chairs of the British Association of Social Workers Northern Ireland and the Irish Association of Social Workers have jointly written to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Karen Bradley MP, and An Tánaiste, Simon Coveney TD, highlighting grave concerns about the potential impacts of Brexit on the social work profession on the island of Ireland.
BASW would like to hear your views on the types of social work learning, events and activities you would find valuable in building Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for you or the people you are working with.
This penultimate Chair’s Blog post has been jointly written with Karen*, a young mother whose child was removed from her care, who I have previously interviewed for an article in BASW’s Professional Social Work magazine.
