About Social Workers Level
At the Social Worker level, practitioners will undertake their role effectively. They will exercise higher quality judgements, in situations of increasing complexity, risk, uncertainty and challenge, than during their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE). Through growing understanding they expect and anticipate, but do not pre-judge, the issues that may develop. They have greater confidence and independence than during their ASYE (whilst accessing support when needed), and use their initiative to broaden their repertoire of responses. They have expertise in one or more areas of practice, are familiar with local resource networks and are recognised by peers as a source of reliable knowledge and advice.
