The workshop is packed full of advice, guidance and tips on how statutory guidance can be applied to the assessment and management of 100-day final placements to Student Social Workers in their last year of study. We share how lessons learned from the creation of final year placements can increase Independent Foster Care Agencies’ access to Social Work Apprenticeships and how statutory task placements can provide a route into Apprenticeships. We also provide advice and guidance on the Apprenticeship Funding Rules 2024/25 funding criteria and the potential for co-investment between organisations.

Testimonials
Stage One Practice Educator, Stockton Council
“We didn’t really cover this subject in depth on the PE Stage 1 or 2 Module, so today as gave a lot of learning and much better understanding of the ways to support marginal and failing students. Thanks Lisa, a well-presented workshop. Highly relevant to the Practice Educator’s role. I think any Practice Educator should attend the workshop. Really great skills day.”
