Corporate Sponsorship of Social Work Scotland helps support our work in advocating for and representing social work managers and leaders at a national level. As an independent body, Social Work Scotland relies on contributions from partners, with Corporate Sponsorship being a key funding source.
Corporate Sponsorship enables Social Work Scotland to:
- Maintain a core team of policy specialists for advice and support.
- Run committees and subgroups which provide national peer networking opportunities.
- Organise events tailored to social work professionals in local authorities.
- Produce materials highlighting challenges and nuanced positions on local issues across Scotland.
- Ensure consistent representation of social work issues at the national level through consultation and engagement with the Scottish Government and other partners.
