NQSW Supported Year forums

We’re hosting quarterly forums to support implementation of the Newly Qualified Social Worker (NQSW) Supported Year. These are for NQSWs undertaking a Supported Year, those supervising NQSWs and employers and strategic leads for NQSWs. 

The forums are a space for you to share successes, opportunities, challenges and practice with your peers. We are keen to hear about your experiences of implementing and embedding the NQSW Supported Year and for this to inform its ongoing delivery and development. 

How can I take part? 

Registration is open now for the first forums. Hold the date for future forums and we’ll let you know when registration opens. 

To join these Microsoft Teams events please register using the links below. We’ll send you an invitation with a link to join the forum. Each forum will last around an hour and there will be lots of time for questions and discussion.
