A new era for social workers in England

Social Work England, the new regulator for nearly 100,000 social workers in England, goes live today.

Social Work England replaces the Health and Care Professions Council.

Colum Conway, Chief Executive of Social Work England, said: “It’s a landmark moment for the sector as our organisation takes over as regulator. We have been established under new legislation which allows us to be a modern, specialist regulator that builds and promotes confidence in the sector.”
