The social work teaching partnership programme was developed to transform the quality of education and experience received by social work students and practitioners.
This evaluation explores the programme’s activity to date and how different delivery models have addressed the objectives of the programme.

The Skills for Health Level 2 Certificate in Care Qualification is a new qualification to support the delivery of the Care Certificate, brought to you by SFJ Awards. The qualification is aimed at the 1.3 million frontline staff who are not registered nurses but who now deliver the bulk of hands-on care in hospitals, care homes and the homes of individuals, and contribute to the creation of a flexible, caring workforce with a common base of skills, values and knowledge.
