Social Care practice

We are passionate about ensuring that social workers working with disabled children have the appropriate knowledge and skills to meet their needs.

We are committed to providing advice and information to support skill development as part of our core offer to the Social Care workforce. We work closely with front-line practitioners to identify and develop good practice and use the learning gained to influence positive change at the national policy level.
