Strategic Level Professional Capabilities

This document presents the Strategic level Professional Capabilities.

The capabilities should be read in conjunction with the level descriptors which can be found directly after this introduction – the details of the capability statement at each level are intended to be used diagnostically to help identify strengths and areas for development, rather than as a list of areas for which evidence must be produced.
The nine domains are interactive – they work together to describe the knowledge, skills and values that social workers need to practise effectively. At the strategic level of the PCF, they also describe how being a social worker should influence the ways in which one works at this level.

There are three developmental pathways, covering education, practice and management. The three pathways, or areas of expertise, whilst distinctive, will not necessarily be mutually exclusive, and many social workers will wish to develop capabilities across the pathways, reflecting their expected career progression
