BASW is calling on the next UK Government to support the social work sector to ensure continuity of care and support.

Richard Servian from BASW's Black Country Branch explores why the next UK Government must commit to properly funding social work and social care in England.

BASW staff and representatives appeared on a range of media outlets following the National Review's publication.

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.

A full analytical look at the Review, its recommendations, and how it impacts all areas of social work will be forthcoming soon.

The 'scoping review' document is more necessary than ever to help guide busy social workers to instigate both individual and societal change.

BASW England has been strongly encouraging members to share their views - and we've also put together our own submission, which you can read here.
