Child and Family Social Worker CPD support and delivery

Tender description

See 'Attachments' for full description and further information. This is a combined procurement exercise for two lots. The first is to administer Departmental funding to support the development of child and family social workers. In particular, for the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE). ASYE is an employer-led, induction programme, helping newly qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) transition into frontline practice. It is key to growing confidence amongst NQSWs and influences the quality of support and service provided to vulnerable children and their families. The second lot is for the development and delivery of new CPD programmes for child and family social workers. In particular delivery of the Practice Supervisor Development Programme (PSDP), a leadership and management development programme for child and family social workers in local authority employment. Practice Supervisors play a pivotal role in delivering good quality services to children and families through their support and oversight of frontline practitioners.
