BASW is holding a live webinar on Wednesday 20th March, 5pm till 6.15pm to examine the key findings from our latest Social Work Survey.
With over 1200 responses, we have amassed a diverse and detailed range of views and experiences from across the UK social work profession. These findings will shape and inform BASW’s forthcoming campaign priorities and representation of social work to policy-makers, and this webinar is the first opportunity for us to set the wheels of action into motion.
Our discussions will also be in keeping with this year’s World Social Work Day theme of ‘Buen Vivir’, considering our collective role in promoting the dual spirits of ‘Buen Vivir’ (good living) and ‘Buen Trabajo’ (good work) in our places of work, culture, relationships and wider communities.
What do these themes mean? What is their relevance for social workers? And how do we achieve them - especially in the face of current global conflicts, humanitarian crises, financial instability and the rise in populism?
By asking questions and sharing ideas and experiences, social work can lead the way in challenging the prevalent climate of hardship, poverty, divisions, poor working conditions, lack of investment, and scant resources and support. Working instead to build a more sustainable and brighter future for our profession, our environment, and our society.
Webinar presenters:
- Dr Ruth Allen, BASW CEO.
- Julia Ross, BASW Chair.
- Dr Rosanne Palmer, BASW Policy & Research Lead Officer.
- Omar Mohamed, Co-Chair of the BASW Experts by Experience Forum, and member of BASW’s International Committee and the Diaspora Special Interest Group.
