There are a large number of regional groups operating at the moment, and new ones being created all the time. Scan the list below to see if there is one near you and contact swansocialwork@gmail.com for more information/how to get involved. Some groups meet up every few months, some host events, many are driven by students, some such as London are huge loose networks in themselves.

Ireland have an amazing SWAN network under the Swan Ireland title. 

We also have members across the globe, from Australia, Thailand, Holland, Greece, America….The list goes on! 

Coming soon: 

  • Birmingham
  • Lancaster

We have active members in other areas of the country, even if groups there have not yet been formed, for example the Midlands. The East side of the UK seems to be suffering from a lack of Swan! Can we fix this? We make sure people looking to form new groups are put in touch with others who have been through the same process, and can offer tips! 

Each conference in an amazing opportunity to meet people, this year will be no exception! There may even be people from your local group travelling to it. If you are interested in getting involved, don’t hesitate to get in touch!

We want to develop a network of service users, practicitioners, academics and students to support radical and progressive social work. We need a social work that is ready to challenge oppressive practice, that means working collectively across the country and internationally to advance Social Work.
