Helping to train a generation of social care professionals
We believe we have a responsibility to help train the next generation of social care professionals.
That’s why we work in partnership with universities across the Midlands to match aspiring students to work placements in services.
We work on behalf of 70 local services that can meet the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) standards of proficiency.
In so doing we are supporting students to get the real world experience they need, and introducing services to the next generation of social care workers.

Why become a placement provider?
There are many clear benefits to providing student placements – for both your organisation and the students themselves. It’s a perfect opportunity for you to:
- Share your organisational values
- Keep up-to-date with best practice
- Listen to new ideas and innovations
- Influence the development of new social workers
