SASW's response to the Scottish Government's Palliative Care for all strategy consultation

BASW England stands in support of the Autism Alliance's crucial campaign, 'Breaking Point – closing the gap in care for autistic adults in England.'

SWU and 20 other unions have signed the Migrant Workers’ Pledge condemning the Government’s attempts to ‘pit’ workers against each other and calling for urgent action to advance the rights of migrant workers.

Nicola and Sally - two carers who work with BASW - share their experiences as we mark Carers Week 2022.

Over 100 civil society organisations – including BASW UK – have written to the Prime Minister, calling for the Government to abandon the proposed cut, which is worth over £1000 a year.

SWU is establishing a ‘campaign’ fund for our members to call on to ensure campaigns throughout 2021/22 can be responsive to changing priorities, quick to deliver and high impact.

BASW England is consulting with members on the proposals within the Health and Care Bill and the implications for social work. The Health and Care Bill was debated for the first time in Parliament on 14th July 2021 and BASW England has been following developments closely.  The proposed changes will impact upon social workers working in and across social care and health.

The proposals must give people the opportunity to be listened to, heard, and involved in making decisions about their care and treatment.
