Social Work England

Social Work England regulates social workers in England. It sets standards, holds a register, quality assures education and investigates complaints.

From 2 December 2019, Social Work England took over the regulation of social workers in England from the Health and Care Professions Council.

How we oversee Social Work England

We review the performance of Social Work England each year. We also review every decision made by the regulator's final fitness to practise panels.

Some aspects of our oversight of Social Work England are different to the other regulators we oversee.
