Greening announces extra £4.7m investment into children’s social care
Education Secretary Justine Greening has announced an additional £4.7 million investment in the teaching partnership programme, which is aimed at improving the education and training of social workers in 11 new areas across the country.
Greening said: “This government wants a country that works for everyone, not just the privileged few. Just as we need a world-class education system that works for everyone, so too we need a world-class children’s social care system that ensures the best start possible for every child.”
The teaching partnership programme, jointly funded with the Department of Health, aims to raise the standard of social workers - both those new to the profession as well those already in practice - by driving up the quality of teaching, learning and development throughout their career.
David Mowat, minister for Community Health and Care, said: “We want to support social workers to ensure they have the best training and skills. The Teaching Partnerships programme will not only increase opportunities for good quality placements, coaching, mentoring and supervision for social workers, they also involve people with lived experiences.”
