Social worker role 'overlooked' in Bill

摘要

The College of Social Work has warned that the Government's new Health and Social Care Bill does not recognise the important role that social work plays. The college wants the Bill to include the creation of a chief social worker, to help boost the profile of the profession, and a dear statement of the role and function of social work. The Bill talks a lot about our profession, but fails to even mention our name in the title of our new regulator, fails to define social work, and confuses us with social care,' said UK College chair, Fran Fuller.
