Black Lives Matter: equality, diversity and inclusion at Social Work England

The current COVID-19 crisis, and the horror of the death of George Floyd in America and subsequent Black Lives Matter movement, have thrown into stark relief that there has never been a greater need for social work and social workers in society. Our profession, with its values and principles of anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice, is uniquely placed to lead the way in ensuring equality in all aspects of society. As the specialist regulator for social workers, we understand that we too have a key role to play in leading the charge on this, and leading by example. We commit once again to standing against racism and discrimination in all its forms.
