Social Work Events Anti-Racism in Social Work

Something is happening in social work. Social workers are mobilising and demanding change. In the wake of police brutality and murder against black people being less hidden, it’s harder to ignore without being exposed as complicit.  It’s not enough talking about being anti-racist or describing one’s workplace as anti-racist”. (Zoe Thomas)
