Offer of 3rd party mediaton over the College of Social Work is turned down…

The British Association of Social Workers (BASW) has turned down the offer of the College of Social Work to return to the negotiating table.

The College had suggested that the two parties continue discussions with indpendent mediation, but this has been rejected by BASW.  The debate over the future of a social work college now seems no closer to being resolved.
