📢 Social workers need better working conditions – now! At our conference in June, we launched a campaign with Social Workers Union calling for a better supported, resourced and respected social work profession. This week, we'll be revealing our campaign asks, and how you can get involved!

1⃣ We're calling for Fair Employment Practises. Good social work requires employment practises that support their complex roles and enable them to deliver effective support for individuals, families and communities. Let’s make it happen 👉 basw.co.uk/about-basw/cam…

2⃣ | Good workplace wellbeing. Social workers have a right to a healthy and positive work environment so in turn they can deliver the highest quality of service to the people they support. Back our campaign 👉 basw.co.uk/about-basw/cam…
