World Social Work Day HistoryWorld Social Work Day focuses on celebrating the essential contributions made by social workers globally. Its main purpose is to promote the value and importance of social work in improving the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. The observance provides an opportunity for social workers to promote professional standards, share best practices, and engage in discussions to address social issues affecting the population they serve. The origins of World Social Work Day can be traced back to the 1980s when it was established by the International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW), an organisation that represents professional social work bodies from around the world. The United Kingdom, having a significant number of social workers and vulnerable populations, can benefit greatly from the increased awareness and discussions surrounding the observance. As one of the founding members of IFSW, the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) has played an instrumental role in advocating for social justice, human rights, and social development within the country. Typical customs or activities that take place during World Social Work Day across the United Kingdom may include conferences, workshops, and seminars focusing on pertinent social issues. These events offer networking opportunities for social work professionals to share knowledge and experiences while also raising the profile of their work within local communities. Additionally, educational institutions and social work organisations may collaborate to organise events that promote awareness about the vital role of social workers in society. World Social Work Day is typically celebrated on the third Tuesday of March. In the United Kingdom, the BASW leads the celebration, encouraging engagement from social workers and affiliated organisations throughout the nation. World Social Work Day Facts
