📈Bursaries for social work students will increase by almost 50% on average. The Scottish Government is committed to supporting the skilled future social care workforce.

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/2024/10/29/boo…

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.

Happy social work week you absolute legends x

Any English students, help @zara_clench_CEP out? 😊
