Summary
This study looks at 'grow your own' initiatives for social work, which are approaches by local authorities and the independent sector to support their employees, or potential employees, to qualify as social workers.
The project adopted a mixed methodology, drawing on 75 interviews across the nine English regions with employers including local authorities and independent sector organisations; higher and further education institutions (HEIs); and current or recently graduated GYO students. Wider input was received via national and regional consultation events and written submissions. This was complemented by the analysis of anonymised GSCC data records of the demographic profile and progression rates of the 41,000 students who were enrolled for social work qualifications from 1998 to 2007.
