The mural is situated at Portsmouth’s Charles Dickens Centre - an activity centre for children.
It was created by local artists My Dog Sighs and Fark who spent time talking to care leavers, social workers and those who use the centre at a virtual event to establish what social work means to them.
Themes of “togetherness” and “overcoming adversity” were picked out as inspiration for the mural.
The tribute to both adult and children’s social workers was unveiled on 16 March to mark World Social Work Day.
It comes as part of a campaign by Portsmouth Council’s children's social care, adults social care and learning and development departments to showcase the input of social workers.
