Social work: national assessment and accreditation system

We are seeking views on a new national assessment and accreditation system for child and family social workers, as part of our reforms.

Opened 20 Dec 2016
Closed 14 Mar 2017
▤ Verbatim text from source document

We invite views on:

  • a future career pathway for child and family social workers
  • the place of a national assessment and accreditation system in that pathway

The national assessment and accreditation system will introduce a new practice-focused methodology to establish the knowledge and skills that child and family social workers need for statutory child and family social work.
