The brief

Every day, social workers support millions of people to improve their chances in life.

Social Work England is a specialist body taking a new approach to regulating social workers in their vital roles.

We believe in the power of collaboration and share a common goal with those we regulate - to protect the public, enable positive change and ultimately improve people's lives.

Social Work England was established under The Children and Social Work Act 2017 to be a new single-profession regulator for social workers in England.

We are a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB), operating at arm's length from Government.

We became the regulator on 2nd December 2019.

As an organisation we are committed to learning about social work and to gathering data and intelligence about the profession and people's experiences.

We want to make a unique contribution to the evolution of regulation, inform our work as the new specialist regulator and provide a detailed picture of social work in England.

Research forms a key aspect of this goal.

The objective of this procurement is to undertake a study into the social work education and training, with particular focus on specialist regulation, Covid-19 responses, and equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).
