material based on my own extensive professional social work experience suitable for social workers, student social workers and social care staff

I can provide and deliver bespoke training and learning material

I promote good practice and provide essential practical tips and tools for social care staff to utilise in their daily work, with a view to raise standards of practice and improve outcomes for service users and carers

I offer training sessions on topical social care issues, relevant to frontline practice, providing an opportunity to embed reflective practice and meet Social Work England continuous professional development requirements

My sessions enable social care staff, social workers, and student social workers to discuss and reflect on casework with the opportunity to share knowledge and expertise and gain peer support

The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) toolkit supports newly qualified social workers to excel in their role and meet the necessary requirements to continue to practice as a qualified social worker
