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 pleased to announce that funding for the SWU Campaign Fund has been renewed through 2022-2023 so that members can continue to set campaign priorities and engage in activism.
This webinar organised by the SWU Campaign Fund explores key topics such as part-time work, tackling racial discrimination, neurodiversity, tackling burnout, and supporting people during the menopause.
We are looking for social workers who work with adults to take part in a research study on the use of digital technologies with Disabled service users.
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.
