Professional Capability Framework - Qualifying Social Worker Level Capabilities

By the end of last placement/ the completion of qualifying programmes newly qualified social workers should have demonstrated the Knowledge, Skills and Values to work with a range of user groups, and the ability to undertake a range of tasks at a foundation level, the capacity to work with more complex situations; they should be able to work more autonomously, whilst recognising that the final decision will still rest with their supervisor; they will seek appropriate support and supervision.

The Health Professions Council (the regulator of qualified social workers) and The College have mapped the Standards of Proficiency for Social Work (SOPs) against the PCF expectations for social work students at the end of their last placement. Whilst there are some differences in the way the standards and PCF are expressed, the overall expectations are the same.
