For social workers to do their work efficiently and compassionately during the coronavirus pandemic they must be safe, we therefore look forward to receiving guidance on PPE, followed by the necessary equipment.
BASW opened up a survey for social workers to provide feedback on their experiences of working during the coronavirus pandemic. To date more than 1,200 social workers have provided feedback on their experiences and concerns, as well as best practice. This provides an overview of the findings and the actions BASW is taking.
BASW acknowledges the speed with which Parliamentarians are having to consider the Bill and therefore restricts itself to the most important issues – more information will be provided at a later date.
For World Social Work Day #WSWD2020 we join with social workers across the UK and worldwide to celebrate and recognise our profession’s vital work across global communities - today and every day.
BASW wants to hear your queries and experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic. This will help us support you and all social workers, speak out social work and the rights of people using services, and create a record of this challenging period that we can learn from.
