Comparing the costs of social work qualification routes

Abstract

York Consulting was commissioned by the Department for Education to explore the costs associated with qualifying as a social worker, via both traditional (undergraduate and postgraduate) and accelerated (Frontline and Step Up) qualification routes. The key aim was to establish the cost per student to qualify and begin practising as a social worker through these different routes. In section two, the authors explore the costs associated with the traditional qualification routes employing a top-down approach. The top-down method essentially assesses the total funding provided to deliver courses and includes the price paid by government and students.
