A specialist regulator focused on enabling positive change in social work

Every day, social workers support millions of people to improve their chances in life. We are taking a new approach to regulating social workers in their vital roles. 

We believe in the power of collaboration and share a common goal with those we regulate—to protect the public, enable positive change and ultimately improve people’s lives.

Less than 4 weeks left to apply to renew and record CPD

To renew your registration, all social workers in England must complete the following actions by 30 November:

  • complete and submit the application form
  • record a minimum of 2 different pieces of CPD. You must include a peer reflection with at least one of these pieces of CPD 
  • pay the registration fee 

If you do not apply to renew and record CPD by 30 November, you risk being removed from the register. This means you will not be able to practise as a social worker.
