About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to AlphaPlus Consultancy Ltd for the development, validation, and maintenance of assessment content for the National Assessment and Accreditation System (NAAS) for child and family social workers.

The contract, valued at AUD 1,300,000, supports the national rollout of NAAS, which began with a two-phased rollout in July 2018 and is scheduled for full national rollout from spring 2020.

The Content Partner will use an agile approach to create new content, curate existing assessment content from Phase 1 and 2, manage assessment design documentation, trials, and analysis documentation, and ensure quality assurance.

The work requires technical assessment and psychometrics expertise, as well as input from experts with a social work background, and involves collaboration with the child and family social work sector.
