BASW England

The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) is the UK’s largest professional membership organisation for social work, with over 22,000 members ranging from students and newly qualified to experienced social workers, managers, leaders and independent practitioners at all career stages and specialisms.

Our three mission pillars are to support social workers, develop the social work profession and achieve a better society for everyone. Our vision is that social work will be a thriving, influential, respected profession, improving lives and upholding people’s rights across the UK.

BASW members get everything they need to progress, support and protect their career, all under one roof. From learning and CPD, to resources, insurance, advice, representation, and a lifelong sense of community. We’re with social workers every step of the way.
