The practice placement takes place in Greater Manchester, Cheshire or Merseyside. You will be given the opportunity to return to a practice setting to re-familiarise yourself with hands-on practice within a local authority or other statutory team. Placements and supervision are arranged by the Greater Manchester Social Work Academy and the Cheshire and Merseyside Teaching Partnership. Private study is also evidenced in addition to the above to meet the re-registration requirements of Social Work England. You will receive guidance on undertaking this study.
Free places
There are 40 free places for social workers who live in regions of Greater Manchester and Cheshire and Merseyside, and /or are planning to practice in these regions after they re-register with Social Work England. Places will be prioritised for returning social workers who want to work in Greater Manchester or Cheshire and Merseyside.
