A consultation on a draft Capabilities Statement which sets out the knowledge, skills and values that social workers should have to work well with older people, their families and carers. The document consults on the purpose of the Statement, how it fits with other frameworks and the capabilities that should be incorporated into learning during a generic social work qualification course. It also covers the capabilities that social workers should acquire at different levels of their career, from ASYE who have contact with older people, through to capabilities for experienced social workers, to those at advanced level and strategic level. The Statement has been co-produced with social workers, older people and relevant organisations and builds on existing frameworks and good practice. It will be supported by Continuing Professional Development Pathway that will set out the roles that older people’s social workers may fulfil at different stages of their career and show how social workers can demonstrate expertise as they move their career.
