Supportive Environment for ASYE Social Workers

At Wokingham Borough Council, we value and invest in our ASYE Social Workers through supportive management and a dedicated in-house ASYE Programme. This unique approach enables our newly qualified Social Workers to become confident and well-rounded professionals with sound knowledge and expertise in safeguarding scenarios.

Programme Highlights
  • Individualized learning plan for the year
  • Regular review points to develop caseload at an appropriate rate
  • Monthly reflective supervision with a dedicated Practice Consultant
  • Monthly 'check-in' sessions to learn about new processes

We foster a supportive environment among our Social Workers, providing:

  • Monthly ASYE group mornings
  • Monthly ASYE group supervisions and case discussions
  • Shadowing/buddy-up scheme across teams
  • Team-based group supervisions
  • Practice model training events

Our ASYE Social Workers thrive in an environment that promotes learning and development. Many of our current Social Workers, Assistant Team Managers, and Team Managers started with us as ASYEs. We are proud to have successfully retained over 80% of our ASYE workforce over the past 5 years.

Quotes from our ASYE's:
