Newly Qualified Social Worker (NQSW) resource pack
All documents marked 'interactive pdf' are editable and allow NQSWs to complete the tables within them electronically to record their progress. These can then either be printed off and saved as hard copies, or saved electronically within an NQSW's own personal work folder, in line with their employer's IT policies and procedures. (Please save the documents to your own computer and then fill them in offline to ensure that the information is saved).
The following documents can be downloaded free.
