NQSWs
NQSWs work in many different settings and roles in their practice. Throughout your first year of practice and your future career, it is crucial to develop your knowledge, skills and values across key areas of Continuing Professional Learning (CPL).
Below, you will find links to information and learning resources specifically for NQSWs.
Core learning elements
The core learning elements for social workers form the basis for your CPL requirements within social work practice. They describe the knowledge, skills and values common to all professional social work practice. They build on learning accessed through social work education and the professional development that NQSWs will consolidate and advance as registered social workers.
It is important that you read the NQSW Supported Year overview and guidance to understand the approach and your responsibilities as a registered worker. We also provide practical sessions to help you understand CPL requirements and have recorded sessions available here.
NQSW Supported Year process
As part of your NQSW Supported Year you can expect to receive effective supervision and support. During the year there are key stages at which you and your supervisor will focus on your developing professional needs.
Supervision for NQSWs
We have developed a full range of supervision resources for NQSWs (embed Link to Supervision Resources for NQSWs on Resources Page). This includes materials for Managers and supervisors to support you in your development. These are linked to promote best practice in professional supervision.
