Open to all social workers **Updated survey 13 May 2020** BASW wants to hear your ongoing queries and experiences during the Coronavirus pandemic. We first launched the survey on 16 March 2020 and have now added new questions to follow your experiences during Covid-19. This vital feedback will help us support you and all social workers, speak out for social work and the rights of people using services, and create a record of this challenging period that we can learn from. Please fill out this ongoing survey (query and feedback form) as many times as you want to tell us what is happening and raise social work related queries. Keep in touch. We welcome BASW members to log-in prior to completing the survey - but this is not essential. All responses will be treated anonymously and in confidence. Equality & Diversity BASW is committed to reflecting social work as a rich and diverse profession. We’d value you completing this part of the voluntary survey to ensure we continually improve how we represent social workers from diverse backgrounds.
