What Our Members Are Saying

“I have been a member of the IASW since qualifiying as a social worker and for me the IASW is my go to for support, advocacy and learning. In a time where we are all busy in our different roles, it is great to have the IASW for up to the minute news on events, training, recruitment and special interest groups - all in one place; it even arrives in my inbox! Their contribution and response to national and current affairs is where I feel my voice is heard. Making contact with the IASW team is super easy and they have responded to all my queries over the years so efficiently - thank you guys.” 
Patricia Sweeney 
"Being an active member of IASW has supported my professional development as a social worker. It's given me the opportunity to work with others from a wide range of settings on issues that are important to social work practice and to contribute to the development of that practice nationally." 
Monica Hynds Flanaghan
"I would highly recommend membership of the IASW. The challenging work which social workers and their managers face should not be done without the support of a professional association, which IASW offers it's members. In addition, the frequent notifications from the IASW of professional development courses and training is an essential part of our CPD requirements." 
Desmond Delaney
