Adult social work: knowledge and skills

We are asking for views on what social workers who work with adults need to know and be able to do at the end of their first year in practice.

We also want to know if you think the statement will help inform national minimum assessment criteria for social workers in adult services.

The draft statement has been put together by the Chief Social Worker for Adults, following Professor Croisdale-Appleby’s review of education of social workers with adults.
