Social Work England missed standards on fitness to practice referrals, registration speed and diversity data in first year

It recognised that the HCPC didn’t move on to Social Work England any data concerning registrants’ demographic traits and stated it will take time for the regulator to assemble this knowledge.

However, the PSA stated Social Work England had “made solely restricted progress throughout its first yr in gathering this necessary data”.

The PSA welcomed the regulator’s equality, variety and inclusion (EDI) technique, led by EDI lead Ahmina Akhtar, however this was not finalised and revealed till after the evaluate interval.

“Social Work England has been clear that it understands how necessary this work is and its relevance to social care,” stated the PSA’s report.
