BASW England's Social Work with Disabled Children Sub-group responds to DFE’s consultation regarding the use of
‘reasonable’ force and restrictive practices in education.
This Guide brings together best practice on age assessment, useful techniques and information as well as exploring the relationship between existing and new legislation on age assessment and the implications.
Given the risk of political priorities intruding on professional objectivity, BASW is discouraging our members, as well as other social workers from applying for, or taking up, age assessment roles in the National Age Assessment Board (NAAB).
