The positive and detailed response of the government to the recommendations of the Social Work Task Force is an important step forward in establishing a stronger professional basis for social work and tackling the issues of workload and respect.
But how big a step forward it is depends on the commitment of the next government to driving through this ambitious programme.

Having a strong, professional and well-supported social work workforce is not just about improving the experience for those individuals. It is about having a social work profession that is equipped to always offer the best for the most vulnerable in society.
Seen in that light, this reform programme must be supported by all political parties.
