SWU Chair Dave Callow and SWU members will be marching in the @UKTogetherAll Trade Union bloc in London on March 28th. We are letting politicians know in no uncertain terms that social issues won’t be solved by pandering to the far-right. Join us: swu-union.org.uk/2026/02/march-…

Have you used our anti racism learning resource for social workers? First launched six month ago, the resource is being used by social workers across Scotland to learn and reflect on how to embed anti-racism into social work practice. Start your learning this #SocialWorkWeek 👉 ow.ly/xKBR50YuFEW

A big thank you to the SWU & BASW members who spoke to MPs - including the Minister for Children & Families - on #WSWD2026 about their social work practice, how they support individuals and communities on a daily basis, and the workforce challenges they want to see addressed.

🙏 Thank you again @IanByrneMP for tabling a motion at Westminster to recognise the important role of social workers across the UK & urge his colleagues to back our calls to improve working conditions in the profession. Has your MP signed the motion yet? edm.parliament.uk/early-day-moti…

Child Poverty Action Group
The abolition of the two-child limit by parliament is an important first step in driving down child poverty. It'll give millions of kids a better today & brighter tomorrow. Protecting children from poverty is the right thing to do & lays the foundations for a stronger country.
Department for Work and Pensions@DWPgovuk

Yesterday, a new law to remove the two-child limit on Universal Credit received Royal Assent Together with other support, this means we will lift 550,000 children out of poverty

I’ve met so many fantastic social workers across East Leeds during my time as an MP. On World Social Work Day, I celebrate the role they play in supporting people and commit to working with them to tackle their growing concerns over resources, workload & staffing. #WSWD2026

lan Byrne MP@IanByrneMP·
It was a privilege to mark World Social Work Day in Parliament yesterday with the @SWU_UK and @BASW_UK , hearing directly from those on the frontline. Social workers do vital work supporting the most vulnerable, but rising workloads and stretched resources are taking their toll. I’m proud to chair the Cross-Party Group for Social Work and will keep pushing for the support and recognition the profession deserves. #SocialWork #WorldSocialWorkDay #WSWD2026
