Verbatim
“Mothers had their children removed from them without their informed consent, which would have caused unimaginable pain and trauma. As a reflective profession, it is only right that the social work sector apologises and recognises these injustices and the lasting trauma endured by affected women, children and families.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Priscilla at such an exciting and pivotal moment for BASW as we develop our new vision for the future.”
“We need stronger accountability for technology companies, better digital education and investment in safeguarding support, while also protecting children's rights to participation, connection, and access to support”
“Our report lays bare the unsustainable pressure cooker that professionals are operating in, with many telling us that they're routinely working over and above their contracted hours and struggling to manage excessive workloads.”
“As a result, many social workers and other public sector staff are effectively subsidising the public, by using their own vehicles”
