For two year now SURA has been working with SUS Social Work Team. Members of SURA have taken part in simulated assessments, met with representatives from Regulator Social Work England and been deeply involved with the Universities student social work applicants, sitting on interview panels and working with the admissions team. This partnership has provided SUS with the service user input they need whilst going some way to meeting SURAs capacity building needs, providing and nurturing new skills for the SURA member who take part. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship and the partnership is strong and ongoing. SURA looks forwards to continuing this unique relationship.
