Join us tonight for an open conversation, all members and social workers welcome. This is your space to speak honestly about what's happening in our workplaces, what isn't working, and how we make it different. No set agenda. Just real talk about what comes next, shaped by you.

Everybody wants to move to net zero but the way this gov is doing that is totally wrong, it's decimating jobs and leaving us vulnerable - you cannot let go of one rope until you have hold of another. #JobsPayConditions

I am blown away by the support I'm receiving from members and I don't take any of it for granted. Thank you so much Anastace for your kind words. 🙏

Great to see you briefly this week, Vicki - and thanks for your kind words. Still really enjoying the Social Work Sorted* podcast. Brilliant to be at Compass and connect with so many practising social workers 👏

Too many cases. Hours you'll never get back. Miles you'll never be reimbursed for. Days working alone with no support. This isn't just your problem to manage - it's what unions exist to fight. Come and tell us what needs to change. Link below

Every single penny will come out of Labour’s affiliation fee. So, @UKLabour will be paying for this one and any others that come our way. This is yet another pathetic attempt to intimidate workers and it won’t work. #Birmingham #Bins bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Thank you Michael, this means a great deal. Endorsements like this aren't just support, they're a responsibility. Every member who puts their trust in me is someone I am accountable to. That is what member-led leadership looks like, and it is what I am committed to.

No pay for all hours worked. Mileage not covered. Pensions that might not exist. Flexibility denied. A union worth having fights for fair pay, fair conditions, and basic respect. We're building a grassroots, members led campaign, email me to get involved calum4gs@gmail.com

Grateful for every member standing with us. Unions aren't bureaucracy — they're organised workers. A huge thank you to Laura Sheridan, SWU Member, for your endorsement.

Instead, I am asking the members to endorse me. You drive this union. Your voices should be the loudest inside it — and you should be the ones who decide who leads it. Calum Gallacher SWU General Secretary candidate

I am the only practising social worker in this election. I have 26 years of frontline experience, a background as a workplace rep, and a lifetime commitment to trade unionism. I don't need to pass a test to prove my knowledge - I live it every day.

🚨 A statement from me on the SWU General Secretary election exam: SWU has introduced an exam as part of the process for standing as General Secretary. I won't be sitting it. 1/3

Thank you Katy 💛 Union Contacts are the heartbeat of the union — the people on the ground, in the workplace, making it real. Your support means a lot. #socialworkers #union #SWU

Staff at the @ITFglobalunion are now balloting again for industrial action. There are three reasons: 1) Representation 2) Accountability 3) Fairness These aren't separate issues. Our union reps have been fighting for accountability and to ensure staff are treated fairly.

Social workers need a union that stands with social workers in action. Inclusive posts and words are not enough. We need visibility for credible change.
