Assessed and Supported Year in Employment and Practice Supervisor Development Programme

See 'Attachments' for full description.

This invitation to tender provides exciting opportunities to support the development of child and family social workers at two levels and is split into two lots, the first for the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) and the second for the Practice Supervisor Development Programme (PSDP). ASYE currently in its sixth-year, is an employer-led, induction programme, helping newly qualified Social Workers (NQSWs) transition from initial qualification into frontline practice. It is key to growing confidence amongst NQSWs and influences the quality of support and service provided to vulnerable children and their families. PSDP is intended to be a leadership and management development programme for child and family social workers in local authority employment. Practice Supervisors play a pivotal role in delivering good quality services to children and families through their support and oversight of frontline practitioners.

Estimated total value: up to £4.7m across two lots
