Our social work framework
In line with the British Association of Social Workers (BASW) capability framework for Social Work, we recognise the importance of experience and knowledge in our Social Workers.
We have used the BASW framework to introduce levels of Social Work within our service.
Our induction plan
Adult Social Care has a dedicated Induction plan which has been developed with staff to incorporate what's important. When you start in your new role your Managers will work through this with you to ensure you get the best start to your new career.
The induction plan includes lists of key contacts and partner agencies that you will arrange contact with.
Our training and development plan
Our dedicated training and development plan for Adult Social Care includes:
- Pre-Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) and Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) qualification.
