Collaborating for excellence in
social work
The Partnership is made up of six local authorities: Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey and Islington Councils, the charity Norwood and Middlesex University.
Practitioners share their expertise, knowledge, skills and experience by supporting teaching, interview panels and assessment panels of students on both the BA and MA Social Work programmes.
Academics have the opportunity to observe practice in specific areas to influence the curriculum and ensure social work students are trained to the highest standards.
Each Partner shares best practice and learning on specific projects /models/developments they have undertaken in specialist areas to find workable solutions to social work challenges.
The mentoring scheme is offered to match students with experienced social workers who may have encountered similar challenges, and is aimed at overcoming these disadvantages, by focussing on career development, networking and skills for success.
Flexible training to respond to practice needs / issues arising. Sessions are delivered as a webinar or as an interactive session dependant on the learning needs.
A tailored programme to coach NQSWs through specific operational scenarios.
