Consultation on revised standards of proficiency for social workers in England

This consultation is now closed.

We are consulting on proposed changes to the standards of proficiency for social workers in England.

The standards of proficiency are the standards that we consider necessary for the safe and effective practice of each of the professions we regulate. They describe what professionals must know, understand and be able to do at the time they apply to join our Register.
