The motion

That the Parliament celebrates World Social Work Day, which takes place on 19 March 2024; notes that the theme is "Buen Vivir", which is interpreted as collective wellbeing, and emphasises the need for social workers to adopt innovative, community-led approaches; recognises what it sees as the vital role of social workers, both at home in Scotland and around the world; believes that social workers play a role in upholding the rights of individuals and communities to make informed and positive choices; understands that social work services are facing a crisis of recruitment and retention, as raised by the Scottish Association of Social Work's campaign, One Deal for Social Work, and believes that sufficient funding of services is essential; acknowledges what it sees as the positive impact of social work on society, and considers that there is a need to retain community relationship-based practice in Scotland.
