Choose Social Work
Choose Social Work is Community Care's 2023 campaign to champion the profession.
-
- We will share inspiring stories, from social workers, celebrities and people with lived experience, about the difference that social work can make.
- We will publish a series of letters, Dear Future Social Worker, to inspire the next generation to choose social work as a fulfilling, rewarding career.
- And we will show the damage that negative media coverage can have on social workers, and explore the potential solutions.
