What is the North East Lincolnshire Social Work Academy?

The Academy’s aim is to provide a clear, structured and consistent apprenticeship programme for adult Social Work in North East Lincolnshire, no matter which of the partner agencies the apprentice works for.

This includes ensuring all adult Social Work apprentices have access to high quality support, education and development  opportunities throughout their apprenticeship programme and beyond.

“I have been given support from everyone at Focus, including managers and some of the current apprentices. I have had lots of learning opportunities and shadowing experiences and was welcomed as part of the team. My mentor was very good. They made me think and helped to answer my questions. They were approachable from the very beginning.”

Lisa Parkin – Student Social Worker
