Fitness to Practise Support Service

We recognise that going through our fitness to practise process can be stressful and emotionally challenging.

An independent support service is available for social workers, witnesses, complainants and family members who may benefit from confidential emotional support during such times.

The Fitness to Practise Support Service is delivered independently by Wellbeing Solutions and is not part of Social Work England’s fitness to practise process.

This service is free and can provide:

• Emotional support and guidance
• A confidential space to talk

This service cannot:

• Provide advice and guidance on fitness to practise cases
• Influence regulatory decisions
• Answer general enquiries about fitness to practise

If you feel like you need to speak to someone confidentially, you can access telephone support on 0800 054 2301. You can also access live chat support, online resources and other tools at www.ftpsupport.co.uk The access code you will need to login is: SWESupport

Please note: support is available via telephone 24/7 for 365 days a year. Person-operated live chat is available from 08:00 to 20:00 Monday to Friday.
