Introducing Our ASYE Programme for Newly Qualified Social Workers
At Rainbow Fostering, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE) programme for newly qualified social workers. This initiative marks a significant step in our commitment to nurturing the next generation of social work professionals and ensuring they are equipped to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children, young people, and families.
What is the ASYE Programme?
The ASYE programme is a tailored development framework designed to support newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) during their transition from academic study to professional practice. Recognising that the first year in employment is a pivotal time, this programme provides the structure, guidance, and resources needed to help NQSWs grow in confidence and competence.
