About Polaris Community

Polaris Community is a dedicated children's services provider committed to delivering innovative and outcome-driven solutions. We strive to create brighter futures for as many children, young people, and families as possible.

We operate across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, and Derby, focusing on family preservation services aimed at reunifying children and young people with their families and diverting them from entering care.

The ASYE Programme

Polaris Community recognizes the importance of supporting newly qualified social workers. We offer a robust organizational commitment to staff learning and development, ultimately aiming to enhance outcomes for children, young people, and families.

Our Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) program is a 12-month structured initiative designed to help NQSWs develop their professional competence and confidence. This program aligns with the Post-Qualifying Standards (PQS) and the Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) at the ASYE level, ensuring that newly qualified social workers receive comprehensive support during their transition into practice.

NQSWs participating in the ASYE program are expected to create a portfolio showcasing their progress throughout the year. They will also engage in specialized ASYE training and participate in action learning sets.
