If you are a qualified social worker you may have heard about the new framework for Post Qualifying Awards. This is being implemented from September 2007, and in the Eastern Region a number of universities are now being approved by the GSCC to deliver modules and Awards within the new requirements.

The GSCC will be disbursing bursary funds via regional Skills for Care PQ Planning Networks for those candidates wishing to access PQ Awards who either have no employer or for those with multiple employers.

If you would like to know more about the Awards or about bursaries, please contact them either by emailing epinpq@yahoo.co.uk or by telephoning 01223 843425.
