COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORK: THE BIGGER PICTURE

Internationally, Community Social Work (CSW) is not thought to be dead in the water. Nations, continually facing country-wide disasters, know they need to support whole communities.

 

We knew it too when Covid first hit us. Facebook groups helping local people sprang up everywhere. They have died down now because there are no resources to sustain the work.

We are currently being hit with the worst cost of living crisis we’ve known in generations. Which individuals do we support? Or do we use our skills to support whole neighbourhoods?

It is time for a revival of our collective understanding about what CSW is and what it can achieve.

If you have an interest in CSW or have ever used CSW skills, join colleagues at this meeting and be part of the BASW Special Interest group (SIG) so we can trailblaze the way.

This page is for the meeting scheduled for Tuesday 17th September at 6.30pm.  Please see below for details on how to register.
