Students - be valued from the start
The General Social Care Council (GSCC) is now registering students studying on the GSCC approved social work degree courses in England. Students spend an average 200 days working with service users, so it is important that they meet the same criteria as qualified social workers.
Many other professions including teaching, nursing, the law and medical professions are regulated through registration. Registering the social care workforce, including students, will put you on a similar footing.
