Response from Welsh Government. Great to hear WG recognise: 1)Bursary has not kept upto date 2)Sector may benefit from a wider funding review Committed to tackling concerns, aiming for the 22/23 cohort. Looking forward to further collaboration,thank you to all our supporters 😊

The lack of parity of esteem between Social & Health Care is epitomised by the differential treatment among Welsh students. Sign our petition to help us support access to Social Work for Masters students in Wales #equality @BASW_Cymru @WGHealthandCare petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/2448…

Our plea for parity of funding for #socialwork postgrad students at the @BASW_Cymru hustings, @RhunapIorwerth from @Plaid_Cymru states “as a matter of principle, social work students shouldn’t be paying tuition fees, social work students should ideally be apprenticeship based”

Our plea for parity of funding for #socialwork postgrad students at the @BASW_Cymru hustings, @DavidReesMS from @WelshLabour states “we should be equally supporting health & social care and the bursary should be equivalent”

Our plea for parity of funding for #socialwork postgrad students at the @BASW_Cymru hustings, @AngelaJBurns from @WelshConserv states “there should be a complete parity of esteem between health and social care under our recruit, retain and retrain policy”

Tonight we’ll be promoting our campaign at the @BASW_Cymru ‘Valuing Social Care, Valuing People’ Hustings ahead of the Senedd election. We look forward to sharing our passion for #equality for #socialworkpostgrads, generating support to make #socialwork an accessible career

Looking forward to putting our question across at the Hustings this evening, to ask for #socialwork postgraduate funding to be recognised as needing parity with our health colleagues! #equality

Today we met with @JulieMorganLAB & colleagues, along with @BASW_Cymru, our Social Work students and @cardiffuni to discuss our campaign for parity of funding for social work postgrads. @WelshGovernment have committed to supporting our cause #equality #watchthisspace
