What brings you here?

I’m considering a career in social work

Social work is a highly rewarding career. Through Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme) you’ll join a new, diverse generation of social workers specialising in child protection.

Train and qualify while practising, gain a Master’s and make a real difference for children and families.

 

I’m a social worker looking to develop my skills and leadership

Progress Social Work, Frontline’s leadership development programme, empowers current and aspiring team managers to achieve better outcomes.

With expert training and support, you’ll lead with confidence and make a lasting impact in your practice.

I’d like to find out more about Frontline’s work

As England’s largest social work charity, much of our work relies on the generosity of our supporters.

Frontline aims to improve outcomes for all the children who rely on the support of a social worker, children who tend to be some of the most vulnerable in society, and drive positive change.

700k

children and their families rely on the support of social workers in England each year.

43%

more children have entered care in the last 20 years.

81%

of children who went into care for the first time after the 2011 Census were living in a household that was deprived.

Our supporters

We rely upon grants from charitable trusts, donations from companies and individuals like you to achieve our mission.

Your support helps social workers to do the work they need to do with the most vulnerable children and families.

We’d love to talk to you more about our work.
