Welcome to the Social Workers' Educational Trust
The Social Workers’ Educational Trust was established in 1972 by the British Association of Social Workers.
Rapid changes in the nature of social problems, in legislation and in social services means that social workers need to seek new knowledge and skills. In addition there is an urgent need to support innovatory practice-based research and to encourage the development of new approaches to providing social services.
The Trust aims:
to assist qualified social workers to develop their knowledge and skills encourage research into social work practice and education educate the public in the nature of social work.
Who can apply?
Qualified social workers who have completed at least two years post-qualifying practice, and who work, or are looking for work, within the UK, can apply for grants from the Trust. You can download the application here, or obtain it from the Honorary Secretary.
How the Trust helps
The Trust provides small grants to individuals (usually in the range of £100 - £300) who undertake post-qualifying training to improve their knowledge and skills for social work practice. In addition, the Trust manages funds bequeathed or subscribed in memory of colleagues. These funds provide more substantial scholarships which are awarded annually through competition.
