Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Graham Stuart (Conservative), on Thursday, 27 January 2011, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 39 members in total.


COLLEGE OF SOCIAL WORK

That this House recognises the vital role of social work in protecting, helping and empowering children and adults in vulnerable situations at critical times in their lives; notes the 2009 Social Work Taskforce recommendation for the creation of an independent national college of social work, developed and led by social workers; supports the establishment of a College of Social Work which is independent of Government, led by and accountable to social workers and strong enough to influence the development of the profession; and therefore calls on the Government to support the establishment of such a college, without public subsidy, delivering a truly independent voice for the social work profession.
