Resources to support Munro’s vision for social workers’ development

On the 10th May 2011 the final report of the Munro Review of Child Protection was published. Read the full report here..  

The report includes a list of essential capabilities for child and family social work grouped under the headings ‘knowledge’, ‘critical reflection and analysis’, and ‘intervention and skills’ (Munro 2011: 96).   

To support your development in each of these areas we have mapped our funded learning opportunities to each of the capabilities – download the PDF here image - PDF icon (95KB - pdf help).
