Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme)

Designed and delivered by social work charity Frontline, we teach social work differently. By blending learning and practice, what you discover in theory is eased into real-life settings, supervised by a social worker. Gaining your postgraduate diploma within 12 months, will be the first step in your life-changing career.

You ll learn how to connect with children, young people, parents and carers. How to gain all important trust, so a family opens their door to you again. You ll gain the technical knowledge and build on your relational skills. We ll give you the time and support to develop your approach, with confidence.

You earn while you learn, and once you gain your qualification you ll step right into a job. And through our Frontline Fellowship, you ll join a network of peers intent on transforming social work practice in England.

Be part of something bigger. Join the next generation of social workers.
