Nominations are now open for the Social Worker of the Year Awards 2023.

Alongside returning categories, the awards have introduced two new awards for 2023 – Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) of the Year and University Social Work Lecturer of the Year.

Each award category is judged by an independent panel of social workers, people with lived experience, young people who have been in care and leading figures from the world of social work.

Do you know an inspiring social work practitioner or team who deserves recognition for their work?

We want to build on our successful nominations and finalists at the 2022 awards

Please think about who you can nominate to receive recognition for the fantastic work they do.

Nominate today!

Nominations are open until 6pm on Friday 2 June 2023, so don’t delay! There will be gold and silver awards in 19 different categories across adults and children’s services, including individual and team awards. The shortlist will be announced in August 2023.
