About the NQSW Website

Welcome to this dedicated website for the Newly Qualified Social Worker (NQSW) Supported Year in Scotland. This is designed for NQSWs and their employers to support consistency for the NQSWs’ first year of practice.
 About the NQSW Website

What is this website for?

The intention of this website is to provide as much clear information as we can for NQSWs, their employers, supervisors and managers. 

We also want to share some learning resources that may be helpful that we will continue to develop. 

The information and learning resources have been informed by our work with employers, managers and social workers in different contexts. 

We’ve also used the research and evidence generated through the Review of Social Work Education in Scotland to inform this website and the NQSW Supported Year approach. 

We have included information, ideas and resources to support you whatever your role and we encourage you to explore the different sections. 

How to use this website

If you are new to the website, we recommend that you start with reading the short overview of the national approach to the NQSW supported year in Scotland 

You can use the specific links on our home page, for specific details about the role of employers, NQSWs, managers and supervisors in the supported year. You can then source information and resources which are relevant for whatever your role is, or the stage of your journey as an NQSW by searching our resources.
