NQSWs develop competence and confidence in managing complexity, risk, and uncertainty in professional decision making. NQSWs enter professional practice in a range of different settings including multidisciplinary teams and integrated services. NQSWs will begin to develop an understanding of their professional identify and how to demonstrate their professional influence within various roles and professional groups.
They will be supported to gain knowledge and experience of how to become proactive in responding to the challenges and opportunities that come from evolving social policy and organisational contexts. They will become increasingly competent and confident in their role and manage professional challenges and differences in relation to practice.
The NQSW will use supervision appropriately to develop an understanding of working with complexity in unpredictable and ambiguous contexts and balance the requirements of their role and any statutory functions with an enabling approach to practice with individuals and communities.
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 them here. You can contact us at nqswproject@sssc.uk.com.
