Skills for Care is committed to ensuring that social workers deliver better services by supporting employers to meet workforce needs, and by supporting the work of the Social Work Reform Board (SWRB).
Together with CWDC we have responsibility for developing the framework for the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) which is due to be implemented in September 2012. In the meantime the NQSW framework continues to be supported through direct funding to employers.
We continue to support all social workers who care for adults through a range of activities and projects. To find out more about each one and to access a number of useful resources, please click on the links below.
We also aim to communicate with and support all stakeholders in the sector via our area social work networks.
The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment model will support newly qualified social workers. It is due to be implemented in September 2012.
