The Education Support Grant (ESG) was introduced in 2003, as an incentive to employers to provide social work placements at a time when the entry level to the social work profession was raised from diploma level to degree level. Funding was also made available to higher education institiuiions to contribute to the costs of involving service users and carers in the development and delivery of the social work degree. However, funding restrictions on government departments mean that the ESG is no longer sustainable in its present form. This document provides background on current arrangements for the ESG; and explains the background to the review following the recommendations of the Social Work Taskforce and Social Work Reform Board. it sets out proposals for the new funding methodology, and describes four options, with preliminary analysis on their respective costs, benefits and risks. The paper has been prepared by Workforce Development Strategy, External Relations Directorate, and is part of a wider context of reform initiated by the Social Work Reform Board’s proposals to improve social work education and training. This consultation relates to the ESG in England only: different arrangements for supporting practice placements apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Responses are sought by 6 December 2013.
