Background
The Social Work Reform Board was established in January 2010 to take forward the recommendations of the Social Work Task Force. The Task Force recommended the development of an Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) for newly qualified social workers.
Skills for Care worked in partnership with the Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) to support the Social Work Reform Board (SWRB) in developing proposals for the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) for newly qualified social workers. The programme is due to be rolled out in September 2012 and will succeed the existing Newly Qualified Social Worker (NQSW) programmes.
A number of employers were involved in developing the ASYE model that will build upon learning from the existing NQSW framework to ensure that employers can effectively assess and support their newly qualified staff. The responses to the consultation are now available; Responses to proposals for ASYE.
We will continue to support employers to deliver the existing NQSW programme in 2011/12 while these developments take place.
Please note
CWDC closed on 31 March 2012 with its key work transferring to either the Teaching Agency (for Early Years, Educational Psychology and Standards and Qualifications) or the Department for Education (Sector Leadership and Social Work).
