Social Work Week takes place from Monday 17 to Friday 21 March 2025. It brings people together to celebrate social work.
What's happening during Social Work Week?
During the week, we'll be hosting a series of online events. These are free to attend and they’re open to anyone with an interest in social work.
The programme will be focused around three main themes:
- strengthening our professional relationships
- maintaining our social work identity
- supporting our well-being at work.
And on Tuesday 18 March we’ll be celebrating World Social Work Day.
Attending the events will count towards your continuing professional development (CPD) hours, if you're registered with us.

Social Work Week is for everyone with an interest in social work in Wales. This includes:
- social workers, including those practising and those looking to return to the profession
- social work students and educators
- people with lived experience of social work
- employers of social workers
- the wider social care workforce
- government and policy officials
- Social Care Wales employees and partner organisations.
