The brief

Step Up To Social Work is a Department for Education funded initiative developed in response to recognised recruitment issues, plus concerns that qualifying programmes were not consistently preparing graduates for the realities of practice upon qualification, particularly in front line child care services.

The model has at its foundation the notion of Regional Partnerships whereby local authorities work with an academic institution to deliver a course that produces skilled, confident and capable social workers for front line child care teams.

The emphasis of the programme is the need for a shared ownership of social work education between employers and education providers.

The Council and the academic institute will collaborate at the second stage of recruitment and selection of trainees, curriculum design, assessment plus contribution to teaching, both via placements and within the academic offer.
