Overview

This Department for Education programme helps you to develop your skills and knowledge in child and family social work in a supported environment.

It’s not compulsory to do the ASYE programme but it is recommended.

Most employers offer it to ensure their newly qualified social workers meet the Post-qualifying standards: knowledge and skills statements for child and family practitioners.
