It is absolutely right that the NHS receives recognition for the incredible work during the pandemic. However, there will be many equally dedicated and courageous workers in social care – who often work alongside their colleagues in health – that will be thinking where is our recognition?
All UK social workers are invited to attend and talk directly to SWU about any workplace issues they are experiencing. This session is free to attend and the webinar is set up so that questions can be asked anonymously.
SWU’s status as a member of the FSCA enables the collective voice of its members to be heard at a key moment, and possibly a pivotal time in the history of social care.
During the pandemic, the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments all placed limits on enforcement of evictions in recognition of the number of people who were struggling with the financial consequences of the widespread economic shutdown.
Gaby Zavoli, BASW Heritage project co-ordinator, looks back through a wonderful period of activities and celebrations – and encourages members to join us for a special reflection event next week.
