Each year in England alone, social workers support hundreds of thousands of children facing tough challenges in their young lives. Challenges that can go on to impact their whole lives if they don’t get the support they so desperately need and deserve. 

The impact a social worker can make with children and families is profound. One that continues as a child grows into adulthood and on to a whole new generation. We need social workers who come from a variety of family backgrounds, with different perspectives and experiences. 

Approach Social Work is a fully-funded, three-year master’s programme, building a new, diverse generation of social workers. Designed and delivered by social work charity Frontline, we’re proud to teach social work differently. By blending learning and practice, what you discover in theory is eased into real-life settings. You’ll be placed in one of our partner local authorities across England and supervised by an experienced social worker. Gaining your postgraduate diploma within 12 months will be the first step in your life-changing career. 

To apply, you don’t need experience in any particular role or profession, just a 2.2 or higher in an undergraduate degree. As part of the programme you will learn how to connect with children, young people, parents and carers. How to build all important trust, so a family opens their door to you again. You’ll gain the technical knowledge and strengthen your relational skills. We’ll give you the time and support to develop your approach, with confidence. You’ll earn while you learn, and once you gain your postgraduate diploma you’ll step right into a job. And through our Frontline Fellowship, you’ll join a network of like-minded peers intent on transforming social work in England.
