Post-qualifying awards for social workers

In 2005 a new post-qualifying framework was introduced by the GSCC. Awards under the new framework are approved by us and delivered by universities and colleges, along similar lines to the new degree. Click here for information about the new PQ framework.

For information about the PQ framework, including any queries about the outgoing awards, you can contact our PQ lead for England, Clare Watson, on 01704 208441 or email her at clare.watson@gscc.org.uk
