About the Social Work Academy
What is the Social Work Academy (SWA)?
Coventry’s Social Work Academy is an award-winning initiative that offers children and family social work practitioners a pathway through their career with Coventry Children's Services, by creating an environment that supports stability and continuing professional development. The Social Work Academy supports Newly Qualified Social Workers throughout their first 12 months of practice in completing their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE). Newly Qualified Social Workers are based in the Social Work Academy for the first 6 months, spending two days per week with their dedicated host teams, and the rest of their week based in the Social Work Academy. After completing the first six months, Newly Qualified Social Workers transition permanently to their host teams. Across their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment, the Newly Qualified Social Workers benefit from continued professional development, support and mentoring, where they develop and embed best practice to achieve better outcomes for children and families living in the city.
