In this blog, a member of our expert advisory group tells us about her positive and negative experiences of support and her worries for the future as she and her son transition from children to adult services.
Practicing social worker Deb Solomon shares her experiences with dog whistles in the workplace. Deb is Chair of the BASW Neurodivergent Social Workers SIG and Co-Chair of the BASW Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Advisory Group.
Understanding how dog whistles work, how they affect vulnerable and marginalised communities, and how to diffuse them are important tools for social workers.
SWU is establishing a ‘campaign’ fund for our members to call on to ensure campaigns throughout 2021/22 can be responsive to changing priorities, quick to deliver and high impact.
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.
