Frontline is England’s largest social work charity. Everything we do aims to make life better for children who need a social worker, to help keep them safe from harm and to give them every possible chance to fulfil their potential. We create social change for these children and their families by developing excellent social work practice, leadership and innovation.
Through our Frontline programme we attract, train and place career changers and graduates directly within children’s services teams. We also develop your experienced social workers through our consultant social worker role and development programme.
Our Pathways programme develops the practice leadership skills of social worker managers and leaders. The programme empowers social workers to lead with confidence, improve the performance of their team and to create a culture which prioritises children and families above all else.
Everyone who completes one of our programmes also has access to the Frontline Fellowship, a growing community of social workers across the country. Through the Fellowship, we will continue to provide support, training and funding opportunities to your staff, to help them make a positive impact on the children and families they serve.
In all of our work and across our programmes, we collaborate with our local authority partners to support their workforce development and deliver the best outcomes for children and families. By partnering with Frontline, you will have the opportunity to gain new staff who are practice ready, upskill and retain your workforce, access knowledge and learning across the profession and much more.
We're so proud of everything we and our social workers have achieved over the last decade. From the first cohort of the Frontline programme, to England's largest social work charity, children and families have always been at the heart of everything we do. And we're so grateful for all the support we've had along the way.
At its best, social work really can, and does, change lives for the better. With children and families relying on social workers more than ever, we’re determined to do everything we can to help make that change happen.
As we look back at the last 10 years, we also look forward to celebrating all the incredible social workers throughout 2023 and beyond.
