The @SWstudentsunite campaign, backed by SWU & @ScotsSW, is about 2 basic principles: fair compensation for doing frontline work in the public sector and students on social work courses being treated like their peers on nursing & paramedic degrees: communitycare.co.uk/2024/10/…

coming soon, for employers / educators of social work. throughout your team will be people with neuro diverse brain types. This will influence their work and their learning...influence, not hinder. Have you considered how you will support them to be the absolute best?
Employers of social workers will soon be able to sign up to a new pledge to celebrate neurodiversity in the profession. Find out from Deb Solomon, a social worker from Derbyshire, about what will be in the pledge. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek @ND_SWgroup @CampaignsHQ @BASW_UK

Today is world social work day. 4 years ago, we all started to work from home and my whole working world changed. Today and tomorrow I'm with social workers in Cornwall face to face. I am so looking forward to it. Enjoy the day. It's a great day to reflect and revisit our core.
