Choose Social Work

Choose Social Work is Community Care's campaign to champion the profession. Through this we:
  • Share inspiring stories, from social workers, celebrities and people with lived experience, about the difference that social work can make.
  • Enable social workers to champion one another through our My Brilliant Colleague series.
Please share this resource about the campaign with colleagues, leaders and future social workers. #ChooseSocialWork
