Social work regulation and professional identity

Join the leaders of Britain’s 4 social work regulators as they discuss their common experiences of social work regulation and professional identity and how they can work together to influence policy.

The regulators will question what role regulation plays in contributing to a strong sense of professional identity for social work to attract, train and retain a brilliant workforce. They will also consider what perceptions of the social work profession are consistent across all four nations irrespective of local approaches.
