The panel is jointly run by the Scottish Association of Social Work, the Office of the Chief Social Work Adviser, and Social Work Scotland. The panel was created to bring together experienced frontline workers, newly qualified workers, students and policy makers in Government to address the issues affecting social work today. It is an opportunity to influence those policy makers and the future of social work with your experience and knowledge.
This interactive workshop will be chaired by BASW member Valerie Chopamba. We’ll explore how BASW members and student members have used our new Shades of Bias tool and reflect together on how it can be applied to different forms of discrimination in the workplace and in education.
