BASW stands with survivors and bereaved families in support of urgent action to implement the final report recommendations and ensure accountability to prevent future tragedies
BASW England is deeply shocked by the latest Government statistics revealing a 27% increase in the number of people sleeping rough in England compared to the previous year.
Having previously supported Shout Out UK’s delivery of political literacy workshops, SWU supports their aim for greater integration of Political Literacy education in England’s national curriculum.
Earlier this year, Rebekah Pierre (Social worker and BASW PO) requested her care-files, and was shocked by what they contained. The below open letter is penned as a call to action, and to raise awareness about the importance of kind, caring and accurate case records, as part of National Care Leavers Week 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.
