This statement and development pathway sets out the knowledge, skills and values that social workers need to work with older people. It sets out the enhanced capabilities for five different levels of a social work career, showing how these capabilities develop and deepen through experience and ongoing professional development. The five levels cover: capabilities at qualification; at the end of the Assessed and Supported Year in Employment; social worker and experienced social worker; advanced level; and at strategic level. The capabilities cover: professionalism; contexts and organisations; leadership; values and ethics; diversity; rights and justice; knowledge; critical reflection; and intervention and skills. The capabilities are not mandatory and act as guidance to improve social work development and they reflect what the evidence suggests will promote older people’s well-being. The statement has been developed by the social work profession, in partnership with older people, carers and diverse partner organisations and has been endorsed by the Department of Health.
