Communication, engagement and relationship-based professional practice

Communication, engagement and relationship-based professional practice

NQSWs demonstrate knowledge and skills to support effective communication, collaboration and relationship-based practice in a range of settings. They actively involve and support the involvement of people receiving services and carers to plan, implement and evaluate interventions. 

Newly qualified social workers will further develop and demonstrate their verbal, written and digital communication and engagement skills in a range of formal and informal settings.  They will begin to draw together theoretical knowledge and research to communicate effectively and confidently to a wide range of people, for different purposes and at different levels. 

Reflective questions

• What skills and knowledge are you bringing to your communication, engagement and relationship-based professional practice?
• Why does this matter for your role?
• What skills would you like to develop? How will you do this?

We are currently developing the information and resources for this page. Please let us know if you have any recommended resources for other NQSWs in Scotland and we will share it here. You can contact us at nqswproject@sssc.uk.com.
