ADSW launches campaign to promote social work

The Association of Directors of Social Work (ADSW) is campaigning to inform people in Scotland that social work is about more than child protection.

The ADSW found that a third of 1,000 people surveyed said that child protection was the service they most identified with social services (32 per cent), followed by care of older people (28 per cent).

Two-thirds of people whose families had used social services in the past two years rated them positively.

ADSW president Alan Baird said: "We hope that by launching this campaign we can make people aware of the range of services provided through social work departments and show how they improve the wellbeing of Scotland as a whole. Our effectiveness depends to a significant degree on public awareness and confidence in our work."
