You will have significant experience of practicing statutory child care Social Work in a multi-disciplinary way. You must have demonstrable skills in planning and delivering interventions with complex and challenging families coupled with the ability to analyse and evaluate complex situations and risk.
Your knowledge base will demonstrate expert understanding of Social Work legislation and statutory guidance, assessment and Social Work methodologies, including an awareness of systemic approaches.
