BASW Cymru were delighted to collaborate with Social Care Wales on ‘Celebrating Social Work’ - two conferences held in Cardiff and Llandudno in late October and early November 2023.
Bath Spa University (BSU) and The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) have been successful in their bid to refine and deliver the 2023/24 workforce survey to social care workers in Wales.
From the outset, BASW has viewed the proposed role for care home managers as unworkable and is pleased to see the government’s recognition of sector opposition to the proposal.
BASW Cymru welcomes the publishing of Welsh Government’s much awaited report: ‘A Healthier Wales: our plan for Health and Social Care’ which is published in response to the recent Parliamentary Review of Health and Social Care. The Parliamentary review was clear in its conclusion that health and social care in Wales needs revolution and not evolution. In the light of this, it was disappointing that the Parliamentary review focused on how to achieve better outcomes without including the level and sources of funding that will be needed to pay for health and social care into the future.
