BASW has joined with leading paediatricians and dentists to press the Home Secretary to drop plans for scientific age assessments for children and young people seeking asylum in the UK.
SWU General Secretary John McGowan and BASW Professional Officer Rebekah Pierre have been invited to speak at Westminster Education Forum seminars on 29 September 2022.
Our focus in this response, on behalf of our members, is on the implications for the social work profession, social workers, and on the potential impact on the children and families served by the profession.
BASW proactively engaged a range of media outlets, to ensure our profession is represented in national discussions about the future of children’s social care in England.
