1 The Professional Capabilities Framework and the Early Professional Development programme 1. Purpose This document explores how the Early Professional Development (EPD) programme is able to inform the social worker level of the professional capabilities framework (PCF). The EPD programme has been demonstrated against the capabilities in the PCF using two different methods. The first demonstrates how the top level EPD outcome statements and critical areas of practice match the framework descriptors. The second method is a more detailed analysis of how the different elements of the outcome statements match the capability stages in the framework. An EPD outcome statement column (highlighted in yellow) has been inserted into the PCF table which describes entry level through to advanced and practice educator level. The comparison can be made between the ASYE level and the experienced social worker level. 2. Introduction to the EPD Programme The EPD programme has been developed for social workers who are entering year two of employment. It aims to help social workers develop through years two and three into more confident and autonomous professionals. Throughout the EPD programme it is important that the social worker understands that the focus of their activities is safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. Central to this is the need for social workers to spend time working directly with children and young people as well as their families and carers. They must also work holistically and in partnership with a range of other professionals in order to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people EPD outcome statements The EPD outcome statements are designed to be used by social workers and their supervisors in all settings where children and young people are the focus of the social work task. The six statements have been developed to guide thinking, professional behaviour, skills, knowledge and professional values. They are as follows: Outcome statement 1: Information gathering Outcome statement 2: Analysing information and making recommendations Outcome statement 3: Planning, implementation and review Outcome statement 4: Working directly with the child young person and their families or carers Outcome statement 5: Safeguarding, child protection and promoting the welfare of children and young people Outcome statement 6: Professional development Each of the six outcome statements is underpinned by a number of elements with each element providing details about the types of evidence that could demonstrate the behaviours or skills that are required of an EPD social worker. The elements are accompanied by an indication of what type of evidence could be provided to demonstrate that the skill, behaviour or level of expertise has been achieved. All outcome statements will need to be fully completed by the end of the two year programme (the social workers third year of employment). An example of an outcome 1
2 statement element and how it could be evidenced is provided below. Where the outcome statement elements are referenced in the table in section 4 of this report it is the Behaviours/Expertise/Skills which match to the capability. Outcome statement 1: Information gathering Element 1.1: Establishing need for information to be gathered. Behaviours/Expertise/Skills Assessing need from the referral document, and matching against agency thresholds for assessment or service. Identifying the level of need. Understanding the timescale for any relevant assessment and the key activity and tasks required. Gaining and working with consent. Planning the engagement of the child, young person and their family or carers in the information gathering process. Planning other agency involvement and ways to seek peer support /supervision. Consulting with others who are more experienced: line manager, supervisor, peers. Evidence How you would know you had achieved the required standard The referral is accepted as per agency/team accountability and remit prior to information gathering commencing. The referral process is accurately recorded on agency systems (electronic and paperbased, eg CAF form) and the referrer is informed of the outcome of the referral. Consent is appropriately sought and recorded. The approach to the assessment is recorded at the outset of the process, including identification of people who will inform the assessment and methods to be used. There is evidence that the social worker has appropriately consulted their supervisor as part of the assessment process. The timelines for the assessment process are clearly understood and achieved EPD Critical areas of practice The outcome statements are underpinned by five critical areas of practice that are an inherent feature of each of the outcome statements. The core requirement of the EPD programme is that the social worker can demonstrate analytical and critical thinking as well as sound judgement in each of the critical areas of practice. The critical areas of practice are: Assessment skills, report writing and recording skills, multi-agency or multi-team practice, peer support and supervision, and anti-discriminatory and culturally sensitive practice. Where a critical area of practice has a direct correlation to a particular capability it is referenced in full in section 3 below. 3. Outcome Statements and critical areas of practice mapped to the PCF capabilities This section of the report provides an overview of which outcome statements and areas of practice relate to each PCF capability. In some cases there is one specific outcome statement or area of practice which relates to a capability, in other areas more than one outcome statement or 2
3 area of practice is relevant. Only the outcome statements and areas of practice which are the most directly comparable have been referenced under the appropriate capability; however the individual outcome statement elements may be more widely matched to other areas in the table in section PROFESSIONALISM - Identify and behave as a professional social worker, committed to professional development Social workers are members of an internationally recognised profession, a title protected in UK law. Social workers demonstrate professional commitment by taking responsibility for their conduct, practice and learning, with support through supervision. As representatives of the social work profession they safeguard its reputation and are accountable to the professional regulator. Social Worker level: EPD programme The social worker needs to be proactive and creative in finding and using opportunities for learning. Critical Area of Practice: Peer support and supervision At this stage supervision should be used not only for support, counsel and direction but also to explore ideas that shape and inform approaches to practice. Critical reflection also has a crucial part in practice development and feedback from peers externally and internally can be beneficial in this stage of development. It is equally important that EPD social workers continue to challenge themselves and their practice by liaising with peers and seeking out new ideas and experiences. This will increase scope of their knowledge and the range of approaches and analysis available Outcome 6: Professional development Demonstrate a commitment to improving social work knowledge and skills, and thereby professional practice, via a variety of formal and informal learning and education opportunities. This includes identifying individual needs but also acknowledging and addressing gaps identified by other practitioners/supervisors. The social worker is able to take responsibility for their professional development VALUES AND ETHICS - Apply social work ethical principles and values to guide professional practice Social workers have an obligation to conduct themselves ethically and to engage in ethical decisionmaking, including through partnership with people who use their services. Social workers are knowledgeable about the value base of their profession, its ethical standards and relevant law. EPD programme Outcome statement 2: Analysing information and making recommendations 3
4 Develop recommendations based on professional knowledge, skills, and judgement. Critical analysis goes beyond drawing together information gathered from clients and colleagues, and begins to seek the meaning and impact of this information when considered together. Analysis should identify the relevant legal, professional and evidence-based practice justifications for arising recommendations. Outcome Statement 4: Working directly with the child, young person and their families or carers The social worker can work with cases presenting greater levels of complexity or need, including family relationships, child development, community networks, and/or links between services. The social worker can work with the child or young person and family to build a partnership approach and encourage their active involvement in the development of plans DIVERSITY - Recognise diversity and apply anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive principles in practice Social workers understand that diversity characterises and shapes human experience and is critical to the formation of identity. Diversity is multi-dimensional and includes race, disability, class, economic status, age, sexuality, gender and transgender, faith and belief. Social workers appreciate that, as a consequence of difference, a person s life experience may include oppression, marginalisation and alienation as well as privilege, power and acclaim, and are able to challenge appropriately. EPD Programme Critical Area of Practice: Anti-discriminatory and culturally sensitive The social worker needs to ensure that their practice continues to be anti-discriminatory and culturally sensitive. There is an expectation that the social worker has an awareness of self and impact on service users and an understanding and application of anti-discriminatory practice concepts. They should be able to ensure social work practice is culturally sensitive and appropriate and be able to draw in alternative professionals if personal impact on the family is resulting in delay or engagement difficulties. Their direct work should show a cultural sensitivity as well as consideration of the best professional to engage with the family on the basis of antidiscriminatory practice and the impact of power and oppression in the professional relationship RIGHTS, JUSTICE AND ECONOMIC WELLBEING - Advance human rights and promote social justice and economic wellbeing Social workers recognise the fundamental principles of human rights and equality, and that these are protected in national and international law, conventions and policies. They ensure these principles underpin their practice. Social workers understand the importance of using and contributing to case law and applying these rights in their own practice. They understand the effects of oppression, discrimination and poverty. EPD Programme 4
5 Outcome statement 2: Analysing information and making recommendations The analysis should identify the relevant legal, professional and evidence-based practice justifications for arising recommendations. Outcome Statement 4: Working directly with the child, young person and their families or carers Be an advocate for the best interests of a child or young person and promote positive family functioning and improved outcomes by working in partnership with children, young people and their families and carers. Within a statutory setting, recognise that the statutory responsibility of the social worker is to safeguard and promote the welfare of the child or young person. Outcome statement 5: Safeguarding, child protection and promoting the welfare of children and young people Promote the welfare of children and young people, and where necessary, respond to safeguarding and child protection concerns by identifying and exploring concerns and risk of significant harm (as defined by the Children Act 1989) KNOWLEDGE - Apply knowledge of social sciences, law and social work practice theory Social workers understand psychological, social, cultural, spiritual and physical influences on people; human development throughout the life span and the legal framework for practice. They apply this knowledge in their work with individuals, families and communities. They know and use theories and methods of social work practice. EPD Programme Specialist knowledge Depending on the employment context, there is an expectation that the EPD social worker will develop specialist knowledge in at least one theoretical model, a particular assessment tool or a communication method. At the start of the EPD process, a social worker should identify additional or new areas of specialist knowledge they would like to develop over the course of the programme. It is important that this is agreed with their supervisor, ensuring that the work setting can provide the opportunity to develop and demonstrate the stated specialist knowledge. By the end of the EPD process, a social worker should be able to clearly articulate and demonstrate the specialist knowledge they have gained in each of the outcome statement areas. Outcome statement 2: Analysing information and making recommendations The analysis should identify the relevant legal, professional and evidence-based practice justifications for arising recommendations CRITICAL REFLECTION AND ANALYSIS - Apply critical reflection and analysis to inform and provide a rationale for professional decision-making 5
6 Social workers are knowledgeable about and apply the principles of critical thinking and reasoned discernment. They identify, distinguish, evaluate and integrate multiple sources of knowledge and evidence. These include practice evidence, their own practice experience, service user and carer experience together with research-based, organisational, policy and legal knowledge. They use critical thinking augmented by creativity and curiosity. EPD programme Critical areas of practice - Assessment skills Assessment skills underpin all the outcome statements. Assessments should be comprehensive, based on sound judgements, encompass complexity and incorporate new information that emerges over the assessment period. Social workers should apply critical reasoning and demonstrate a theoretical evidence base to their assessment. Social workers need to critically analyse information and challenge assumptions and consider both the manifestation of the presenting problem and the underlying issues. The assessment must consider any emerging issues, including those that may not be presenting as a problem but could escalate without family support or intervention. Assessments often cross the boundaries of teams and agencies. Understanding and acting on the assessment made by someone else is an important challenge. Understanding the interplay between two or more assessment types or processes is a skill for a social worker to develop as they manage more complex cases. This encompasses specialist assessments but also other assessments that may provide information about a child s family, for example, a mental health assessment of an adult carer or an assessment of a disabled sibling INTERVENTION AND SKILLS - Use judgement and authority to intervene with individuals, families and communities to promote independence, provide support and prevent harm, neglect and abuse Social workers engage with individuals, families, groups and communities, working alongside people to assess and intervene. They enable effective relationships and are effective communicators, using appropriate skills. Using their professional judgement, they employ a range of interventions: promoting independence, providing support and protection, taking preventative action and ensuring safety whilst balancing rights and risks. They understand and take account of differentials in power, and are able to use authority appropriately. They evaluate their own practice and the outcomes for those they work with. EPD Programme Outcome Statement 4: Working directly with the child, young person and their families or carers Work directly with children, young people or families to gather information, identify strengths, difficulties and risk of significant harm, develop and implement plans, and build capacity to achieve goals. Be an advocate for the best interests of a child or young person and promote positive family functioning and improved outcomes by working in partnership with children, young people and their families and 6
7 carers. Within a statutory setting, recognise that the statutory responsibility of the social worker is to safeguard and promote the welfare of the child or young person CONTEXTS AND ORGANISATIONS - Engage with, inform, and adapt to changing contexts that shape practice. Operate effectively within own organisational frameworks and contribute to the development of services and organisations. Operate effectively within multi-agency and inter-professional settings Social workers are informed about and pro-actively responsive to the challenges and opportunities that come with changing social contexts and constructs. They fulfil this responsibility in accordance with their professional values and ethics, both as individual professionals and as members of the organisation in which they work. They collaborate, inform and are informed by their work with others, inter-professionally and with communities. EPD Programme Critical areas of practice - Multi-agency or multi-team practice The EPD social worker should at this stage be asserting themselves in the multi-agency context, communicating effectively with other practitioners and professionals by listening and ensuring that they are being listened to. They must also be able to understand the roles of other agencies and local procedures on safeguarding and child protection and variations in use of terminology. They must be able to form relationships with other professionals and work in a team context, forging and sustaining relationships across agencies and respecting the contribution of others working with children, young people and families. The EPD social worker must be proactive and assertive with action and professional opinion, and be prepared to put forward professional judgements. The EPD social worker is expected to be proactive in involving the right professionals in supporting the child or young person and their family. They must recognise their own role and provide timely, appropriate and succinct information to enable other practitioners to deliver their support to the child or young person, parent or carer PROFESSIONAL LEADERSHIP - Take responsibility for the professional learning and development of others through supervision, mentoring, assessing, research, teaching, leadership and management The social work profession evolves through the contribution of its members in activities such as practice research, supervision, assessment of practice, teaching and management. An individual s contribution will gain influence when undertaken as part of a learning, practice-focused organisation. Learning may be facilitated with a wide range of people including social work colleagues, service users and carers, volunteers, foster carers and other professionals. EPD Programme Outcome statement 6: Professional development 7
8 Demonstrate a commitment to improving social work knowledge and skills, and thereby professional practice, via a variety of formal and informal learning and education opportunities. This includes identifying individual needs but also acknowledging and addressing gaps identified by other practitioners/supervisors. The social worker is able to take responsibility for their professional development. 4. Outcome Statement elements mapped to the PCF The table below presents the individual elements of the EPD outcome statements mapped to the corresponding PCF standards. Social workers on the EPD programme are in their second and third year and therefore placed within the social worker level of the PCF. The comparison can also be made between ASYE statements and the experienced social worker level to demonstrate the career progression of the social worker. Due to the fact that the areas of practice permeate throughout the statements, more than one outcome statement element will often correspond to the matching capability in the PCF. The outcome statement element has been detailed rather than the behaviour or skill required since the element often contains multiple skills and behaviours required to achieve it. Where there is no direct match the outcome statement which matches capability at the highest level has been referenced. Where an element has been given the reference (S) this refers to the fact that it is a secondary match to the capability descriptor. 1.
