Your ASYE community of practice: Learn, connect, share and help shape the future of ASYE support.
Our ASYE networks bring together newly qualified social workers (NQSW), ASYE assessors and members of our global ethnic majority social worker (GEMS) to share experiences, learn from one another and explore the issues that matter most to their roles.
Whether you're navigating your first year in practice, supporting others through ASYE, or looking to connect with colleagues who share similar experiences, our networks provide a space to learn, connect and contribute.
These are more than meetings. They're communities shaped by the people who take part.
