Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme)

By blending learning and practice, what you discover in theory is eased into real-life settings, supervised by a social worker. Gaining your postgraduate diploma within 12 months, will be the first step in your life-changing career.

You’ll gain the technical knowledge and build on your relational skills. We’ll give you the time and support to develop your approach, with confidence.
You earn while you learn, and once you gain your qualification you’ll step right into a job. And through our Frontline Fellowship, you’ll join a network of peers intent on transforming social work practice in England.
