🥳 Congratulations to our 2023/24 cohort of newly qualified social workers, pictured here at their ceremony to mark the successful completion of their Assessed and Supported Year in Employment (ASYE)! We had a wonderful afternoon celebrating the success of our latest cohort. It allowed our practitioners to reflect on their year of learning, as well as the personal journeys that brought each one of them to social work. It was also an opportunity to celebrate our network of assessors and professional development advisors, who have created such a supportive and nurturing environment for our students. We're immensely proud of our social workers, who have demonstrated compassion and dedication in their service to adults, children, young people and families. Their hard work and care has been, and will continue to be, an asset to the residents of South Gloucestershire. We wish them all the very best as they start this exciting new chapter in their career! #SouthGlos #ASYE
