In addition NQSWs can expect a monthly dedicated study day to focus on their portfolio completion, protected caseloads and support from a vibrant ASYE team that sits within the Croydon Early Help and Children Social Care Academy for support. Due to the current COVID19 situation and social distancing guideline, we may need to deliver the early stages of the programme virtually.
