The Hostile Environment is a safeguarding risk! As a social work-led organisation, SWWB are deeply concerned about how the language of “safeguarding” has been weaponised to justify harmful, punitive immigration measures – and the increasing role social workers play in enforcing hostile immigration policies. Join members of SWWB’s Campaigning & Education groups for a critical discussion on:
– How we, as social workers, position ourselves in relation to the Hostile Environment
– Resisting complicity with harmful immigration policies
– What we can do: Fuelling hope, shaping our profession, building solidarity and allyship within social work
SPEAKERS:
-Social Workers Without Borders campaigners and educators
