Social Worker Employers Report highlights challenges and opportunities 

Today, on World Social Work Day, we are publishing our first Social Worker Employers Report. This report helps build our understanding of the social worker workforce from the employers’ perspective.  

Based on survey responses from social worker employers, the report highlights themes impacting employers, including: 

The SWRB’s Social Worker Employers Report complements other work we are doing to build on-going evidence and insights into the social worker workforce.  

This year’s theme for World Social Work Day – ‘Strengthening Intergenerational Solidarity for Enduring Wellbeing’ - emphasises the importance of caring and respecting across generations to build strong societies, sustain the environment, and share wisdom for a better future.  

Building strong societies requires us to have sufficient social workers in the right place with the right skills and experience. By incorporating the experience of employers into our knowledge and insights into the social worker workforce, we can work collectively on workforce sustainability. Working with social worker employers, policy makers and others across the health and social sector, we can identify workforce planning priorities and strategies for a stable workforce for the future.
