Advanced Social Work

Programme Description

This flexible course is a joint award offered with the General Social Care Council´s (GSCC) Advanced Award in Social Work, which we are accredited to deliver on behalf of the Greater London Post Qualifying Consortium (GLPQ).

The course leads to further growth and development of the social work profession, and draws on in-depth knowledge of interprofessional leadership, and experience of conducting and applying research to practice.

The majority of the academic assessments directly relate to the Advanced Award requirements.

This course is taught as a series of short courses requiring periodic attendance of one or two days at a time. You can also study for a Postgraduate Diploma or Certificate. Learning is enabled through a variety of methods including tutor and student-led presentations, workshop activities, observations, experiential group work, web-based materials, reading seminars and reflective practice. You are required to gather third party verifications from managers, colleagues and service users demonstrating their competence in practice.
