Social Work Watch: Take part in our survey on 29 April and show the realities of social work

The survey is now closed

Community Care and UNISON are teaming up this spring to shine a light on a typical working day in the life of a UK social worker. We want to highlight the challenges and pressures you face every day – and celebrate the value and importance of what you do.

So, on Tuesday 29 April, we asked you to fill in a survey telling 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?

We will bring the findings to the public and policy makers to promote understanding of the profession and push for change. The results will be announced shortly.
