Pleased to meet you
Welcome
Welcome to the Association for Professors of Social Work. We are a membership organisation operating in the UK. Our members are researchers and educators in the areas of social work and related fields, operating throughout the UK from higher education institutions. Please explore the site to find out more about us, view our events and publications and find out how you can get involved.
About us
Our purpose is the promotion and development of social work education and research in the UK. Through our activities, events and meetings we provide a UK-wide forum on social work.
We are able to have an impact on institutions engaged in social work education and research, to help feed evidence into training and practice.
At a policy level, we represent the interests of social work to Governments, the media and other bodies both in the UK and internationally.
We initiate and undertake research in social work and related fields, aiming to ensure that research has an impact, through the collection and dissemination of relevant information.
