What the petition asks
Bursaries for social work students has been frozen at the same amount for years, many since 2014. We want the Government to increase the amount of this bursary, to reflect inflation and increased living costs since they were last increased.
Social work student bursaries provide financial support to students studying Bachelors, Masters, Frontline or Step Up Programme. We believe these bursaries are essential to the future and investment of future Social Workers.
