Joanna Macdonald and Susan Dobson of the Anti-Racism Oversight Group introduce the survey. 

Have you experienced or witnessed a colleague experience racism? Do you want to do do your part in fighting racism in your workplace?

Help us at Iriss and the Anti-Racism Oversight Group for Social Work improve your and your colleagues experience in social work. To ensure future policy and training developments, as well as support structures within social work, we would like to hear from you about what you have seen, heard of or experienced. 

To share your experiences, please fill in the online survey.


Who is this survey for?

People of all ethnicities who work within social work. This includes but is not limited to the following roles:

  • Social work student
  • Social work educator
  • NQSW
  • Social worker
  • Social work leadership
  • Support for social work

What will happen to my data?

All data will be stored according to the Data protection act. For more information, please see our privacy policy.

The survey will be anonymous. In the survey, we will not ask you for any personal or identifying information and the individual responses can only be accessed and seen by the Iriss project team. All data that will be shared with stakeholders or publicised will only be shared in an aggregated form, meaning no individual responses will be shared. 

When does the survey close?

We have now extended the survey deadline, and will keep it open until Friday 13th of December.

Social Work Professional Support Service

If anything in the survey has made you feel uneasy and you would like to talk to someone about it. You can reach out to the confidential Social Work Professional Support Service where you will be able to speak to someone about what you are feeling.
