About

Derby City Council awarded a contract to The Manchester Metropolitan University for the delivery and quality assurance of the Cohort 6 Step Up to Social Work Programme in the East Midlands region.

The programme, funded by the Department for Education, aims to raise the standard of social workers in children's statutory services by recruiting high-calibre candidates with a 2:1 degree and childcare experience.

The contract, valued at AUD 933,360, covers a 14-month programme commencing in January 2020 and ending in March 2021, leading to a Post Graduate Diploma at MA level.

The programme must be validated by the HCPC by March 2019 and meet the requirements of Social Work England when in force, enabling students to meet the refreshed Professional Capabilities Framework and the Post-qualifying standard for child and family practitioners.

The East Midlands Regional Partnership, consisting of Derby City, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City, Leicester City, Derbyshire, and Lincolnshire, plans to recruit between 30 and 40 students.
