Presents the findings of a review of the role, activities and financial situation of the College of Social Work, examining the possible functions of a professional college, its membership function, the practice and policy development function, the conferences, events and training functions, its accreditation function, the College’s systems and website, its organisational capability, staffing and governance, and the finance. The report informed the decision to close the college due to a lack of funds. It highlights a significant gap between income and expenditure in 2013/14 and a further projected gap in 2014/15 of just over £240K. The report however argues that a reinvigorated and sustainable College could have played a prominent and authoritative role in delivering high quality social work practice.
