Social work - Practice Learning Support Grant: equality impact assessment
Equality impact assessment relating to the introduction of the Practice Learning Support Grant for eligible social work students with practice learning placements in-year. It assesses the impact of the proposed grant for groups with protected characteristics.
Equality monitoring mechanisms and review schedule
Officials should update the EQIA with the latest available verified data, seek further equalities data specific to the PLSG cohort, and conduct a wider literature review. The SSSC ‘Inflows and Outflows’ report, which will examine student numbers entering the social work profession, should be reviewed when available.
The EQIA should also be informed by ongoing wider policy work on social work student funding and practice learning improvements, which is being undertaken in partnership with the sector.
