New project ‘Supporting family and professional carers to provide appropriate care and support for older learning-disabled people with behaviours that challenge’ is funded by NIHR
BASW Cymru had petitioned the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales about our deep concerns for the well-being and human rights of older people in care homes, whose voices have been effectively silenced throughout lockdown.
BASW Cymru has been in conversation with the Older People’s Commissioner for last couple of weeks about the appalling number of deaths in care settings. We have also shared our concerns about the essential role of social workers in upholding the human rights of older people and ensuring the voices of older people in care settings are heard.

In order to best improve the working conditions of social workers, BASW Cymru want as many perspectives as possible in to what Professional Identity in social work means to you
