Sets out the position of the British Association of Social Workers about what the Green Paper needs to achieve, based on the social work perspective on social care and with particular reference to the role of social work. The paper was produced by the Adults Practice, Policy and Education Group and draws on a consultation with BASW members (105 survey responses). The paper focuses on the seven principles for the Green Paper identified by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and what is needed to achieve these, based on the social work perspective on social care. These principles are: control; whole person, integrated care; quality; support for families and carers; a sustainable funding model; and to respect and nurture the workforce.
