This guidance has been developed by the Care Council for Wales (Care Council) in consultation with representatives from programmes providing the Social Work Degree in Wales. This document provides guidance and information about processes undertaken by higher education institutions (HEIs) and their employer partners and the Care Council to ensure the suitability of social work students for training and professional registration. This guidance also seeks to clarify the roles and responsibilities within these processes of the Care Council, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and their employer partners in making decisions about an individual’s suitability to enrol on a social work degree programme; remain as a student; to enter the social work profession; and suitability to practise following attainment of the professional qualification in respect of periods of post qualification study.
