About Us

Polaris Children's Services are an established children's services provider that delivers innovative and outcomes-based services, offering real value and building brighter futures for as many children, young people and families as possible.

Working across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and Derby, we provide a family preservation service, aiming to reunify and divert children and young people from the edge of care.

The ASYE Programme

Polaris Children's Services recognises the value of supporting Newly Qualified Social Worker's and provides a strong organisational commitment to staff learning and development which aims to improve the outcomes of children, young people and families.

The Assessed and Supported Year in Employment programme is a 12 month programme that must be successfully completed by an NQSW in order to practise as a social worker at PCS. It applies to all newly qualified and registered social workers with Social Work England undertaking their first year of professional practise from date of registration with the Health & Care Professions Council.

The ASYE programme is an employer led programme which is designed to enable the NQSW to develop their professional competence and confidence alongside their skills, knowledge and capability and to make the transition from formal study to practice. Polaris have developed the unique programme for an NQSW and work alongside Skills for Care utilising the assessment standards for the ASYE programme which are set out in the Post-Qualifying Standards (PQS) (formerly known as the Knowledge and Skills Statements, KSS) (BASW, 2020) and the PCF at ASYE level (BASW, 2018).

NQSW's are expected to develop a portfolio which will provide evidence of their progression throughout the year, attend ASYE specific training and attend action learning sets.
