Social Work Week 2026

Social Work Week takes place from 16 to 20 March 2026.

It brings people together to celebrate social work.

Lleisiau dewr, brave voices: confident and courageous social work in a changing world

Join us for our week-long series of inspiring events where we’ll be:

  • celebrating the positive impact of social workers across Wales and the difference they make every day
  • exploring some of the challenges facing social work today and how we can respond to these together
  • sharing learning and experiences to strengthen practice and improve outcomes.

Our events are free to attend, and they’re open to anyone with an interest in social work.

    The programme will be focused around three key themes:
    • creative social work practice, risk, and rights
    • collaboration and co-production to achieve better outcomes
    • developing and maintaining confident practice.

    Get involved!

    We’re looking for individuals, groups and teams who would like to deliver a session.

    Expressions of interest must fit one of the three key themes for the week.

    We encourage contributors to co-produce their sessions with those people with lived or learned experience of social work where possible.

    If you’d like take part in the week’s events, fill in the form and we’ll be in touch.

    The closing date for expressions of interest is Wednesday, 12 November 2025.
