Today is Social Work Watch Day and UNISON has teamed up with Community Care – the leading website for people working in social care – to ask you to shine a light on a typical working day in social work.
If you are involved in social work, please fill in the survey to tell us about your day.
- How many hours did you work?
- What kind of work did you do?
- How did your work make a difference to the lives of service users and what impact did the day have on your own mental well-being?
UNISON intends to bring the findings to the public and policy makers to promote better understanding of social work and to push for change.
The union wants to highlight the challenges and pressures social work staff face every day, and to celebrate the value and importance of the work that social work staff do.
As an added incentive, those who complete the survey today – or soon after – will be entered into a draw for an iPad mini.
