The attack on Maria Coto is unacceptable and a grave injustice to those dedicated to making a positive impact in our communities through social work. We call urge our partners in government community leaders, and employers to prioritize the safety of social workers by: - Implementing robust safety protocols and emergency response systems. - Providing regular mandated safety trainings. - Mandating field social workers be paired with colleagues or aides. - Supporting federal legislation like the Protecting Social Workers and Health Professionals from Workplace Violence Act (2022). Social workers are essential in creating stronger and healthier communities. It's our shared duty to ensure their safety and well-being as they care for communities across New York State. 💪🛡️ #ProtectSocialWorkers #SafetyFirst #SupportOurSocialWorkers #SocialWorkSafety

The Local Government Association are hosting the following free webinar which may be useful for anyone involved in international recruitment in adult social care: 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟕 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝟏𝟏.𝟎𝟎 𝐚𝐦 - 𝟏𝟐.𝟑𝟎 𝐩𝐦 In June 2023 the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA) reported a significant increase in reports of exploitation in adult social care. The decentralised nature of the adult social care market, the rise in the number of overseas workers, the growing use of agencies, low rates of unionisation and the widespread use of temporary contracts may all contribute to this greater exploitation risk. In this webinar we will hear how some councils are working with national and local partners to identify and manage the risks of exploitation and modern slavery in adult social care. Speakers include: Amanda Whittaker-Brown, Senior Advisor, Partners in Care and Health (Chair) Gang Masters and Labour Abuse Authority Council representatives This is a virtual Teams webinar Please book using the link below.

social workers are essential My condolences to the Social Worker who lost their life doing the work for the people. A stark poignant reminder of the dangers that we face each day serving the most vulnerable populations . NASW-MA Chapter
NASWNYS Offers Condolences After Social Worker Attacked in NY Dies The #NASWNYC and #NASWNYS chapters have recently learned about the tragic death of social worker Maria Coto on June 19, 2024. Our deepest condolences go out to Maria’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time. Maria's death is a devastating reminder of the senseless acts of violence that #SocialWorkers often endure while working. Such violence is inexcusable and highlights the urgent need for protective measures for those dedicated to serving and uplifting our communities. Considering this tragedy, we renew our call for legislative action to protect social workers by passing the federal bill, the Protecting Social Workers and Health Professionals from Workplace Violence Act. This vital legislation would promote safer working conditions by establishing a $10 million grant program to implement workplace safety measures. “We stand in solidarity with all social workers that continue to do their job despite the risks and will continue to advocate for the necessary changes to ensure their safety and well-being,” says Shakira A. Kennedy, PhD, LMSW, executive director of the NASW-NYS chapter. Following this attack, officials in New York approved an emergency contract that beefed up security escorts for social workers.

In her recent article, "How to Prevent Violence Against Social Workers," Nina Chamlou examines the risks we face as social workers. I was quite flattered Ms. Chamlou was interested in interviewing me for her piece and was kind enough to include a few of my thoughts on this important matter. As social workers, far too often we place ourselves in harm's way. It is true, this is one aspect of the profession...to a limited degree. Much more must be done to safeguard and protect our nation's social workers – the men and women who hold space for those working through the complexities, challenges and tragedies of everyday life. What are your thoughts about safety in the social work profession? Read the full article here:
