MIGRATion JUSTICE.
SOCIAL WORK SOLIDARITY.
Social Workers Without Borders is a social work charity working for migration justice. We believe social workers should work in solidarity with people impacted by borders. We mobilise a network of social workers and social work students to practice in a way that is rights-based, upholding the inherent dignity, worth and humanity of every person.
Social Workers Without Borders provide independent social work reports for people impacted by immigration policy, this includes children, families and adults. Most of our reports concern children’s welfare and we are frequently instructed to give expert evidence for immigration decisions that could separate families.
Our Key Work
Social work reports
We provide independent social work reports to be used as expert evidence in immigration and asylum matters.
Campaigns
Our campaigning sits at the intersection of social work practice and immigration and asylum policy.
Education
We believe in the transformative power of education.
