Social workers recruited to children’s and families work posts in England from overseas face significant challenges posed by the differences in the social and legislative contexts between England and their home countries. To be successful they need to have a clear understanding of social work legislation, policy and practice in England. The two-day KSL Induction for Children’s Social Workers from Overseas course is developed and delivered by sector partners and industry experts:
* Provides a comprehensive insight into industry essentials
* Develops transferable knowledge and is instrumental in meeting CWDC Induction Standards, particularly Induction Standards 2, 3, 6 and 7.
* Is tailored around the learning needs of an individual council, region or participants’ country of origin.
* Significantly reduces development costs, saves preparation time and helps build confidence in your newly recruited workforce.
* Is delivered regularly and flexibly as and when your social workers are recruited. It can be supplemented with individual pre-course assessment and post-course mentoring for participants.
