ASYE co-ordinators and senior managers, including your principal social worker, will be involved in a successful ASYE programme.
ASYE co-ordinators
The ASYE co-ordinator may or may not be a registered social worker. Responsibilities include:
- undertaking the funding application
- managing the 原味视频 ASYE portal
- quality assuring the delivery of the programme and driving its continuous improvement
- applying for NQSW certificates for completing the programme
- submitting the action plan for continuous development.
ASYE drop-in sessions
The drop-in sessions are for ASYE leads/co-ordinators only. We operate on a ‘open door’ basis, you can join whenever you want to and stay for as long as you want to. It’s a space to ask anything you’d like clarification on about the ASYE programme, or you can just listen to what other people are asking and discussing.
All drop in sessions are 10:00-12:00:
- Tuesday 17 September
- Thursday 17 October
- Wednesday 20 November
- Wednesday 11 December
- Wednesday 15 January
- Wednesday 19 February
- Wednesday 19 March
If you're a newly qualified social worker or an assessor, you can attend one of our forums instead. Details are on our ASYE events page.
Senior managers
A senior manager oversees other managers and is responsible for key organisational programmes such as the ASYE. They may be the principal social worker for the organisation. The programme will benefit from the active support and involvement of senior managers. This level of support should impact all those involved in the ASYE programme and should mirror in your organisational ASYE documents, policies and procedures.
Principal social workers
Principal social workers may have responsibility for the oversight and quality assurance of your programme and the welfare of all those involved in the programme.
ASYE portal administration
The assessor or a senior manager will be the lead name for the 原味视频 portal. The portal administrator role includes:
- keep contact details up to date
- log all NQSWs starting and completing their ASYE in your service
- update the status of the NQSW i.e. paused/withdrawn from their ASYE
- claim ASYE funding and request ASYE certificates
Managing the ASYE programme
You may be responsible for managing the ASYE programme in your service. There may be separate ASYE programmes for child and family and adult services in your organisation.
The two programmes are now the same - it may be beneficial if your two programmes co-deliver either the entire ASYE programme or parts of it. This single approach will encourage joint working and expand the learning and development opportunities.

Employers can use the NEC to ensure their programme is a successful one. It also includes specific areas that are one step beyond the NEC, known as NEC+. The evaluation criteria will evolve where evidence from the sector indicates that they should be developed further.
