PETITION

We, the undersigned, are a concerned group of people who respectively urge Ms Elizabeth Harman, the Vice Chancellor of Victoria University, to act now to support and guarantee the future of the Social Work Unit at St Albans Campus, Victoria University.

The Social Work Unit needs the continued support from University management to be able to provide quality education & training for social work students in the Western metropolitan area. The Social Work Unit has developed and maintained strong links and partnerships with labour force providers in the Western region and broader community. It is paramount that the University retains the Bachelor of Social Work course to be able to meet the ever growing and diverse needs of the community.

The VU Social Work Unit education and training, exemplifies the philosophical principles of social justice, equality, anti-oppression, client self - determination and empowerment.
