Social Work (Mansfield) BA (Hons)

Social work is about making a real difference. It takes compassion, determination, and a strong mind.<br/><br/>What do social workers do? We step in wherever there’s a need—whether its protecting children, supporting vulnerable adults, or helping with mental health and the cost of living. We tackle big issues like inequality, discrimination, and poverty, making an impact every day. We help individuals, families, and communities, leaving a lasting mark on their lives.<br/><br/>While the work can be challenging, it’s incredibly rewarding. Social work is more than a job, it’s a calling.
