Many students and Newly Qualified Social Workers report to BASW that they are experiencing prejudice and discrimination in practice placements and their ASYEs, telling us that they find it difficult to address these issues as they fear this may reduce the likelihood of passing their placements or ASYE.
This webinar, led by BASW England’s Student and NQSW Thematic Group will:
• Hear from current and recent students about their experiences
• Hear from Professor Carlene Cornish about her research in this area
