ASYE training for managers is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of their roles and responsibilities in documenting ASYE-related work. It offers clarity on crucial ASYE conditions, such as protected time and caseloads, ensuring that newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) receive the necessary support. Emphasis is placed on fostering a positive team culture by addressing the importance of boundary-setting in professional practices, moving beyond mere policy adherence, and focusing on modelling effective management strategies. The training also explores practical methods for developing NQSWs, guided by insights from Andrew Gambrill's BASW article “The Key Three.” Managers will learn how to apply these principles to nurture the growth and professional progression of NQSWs. Additionally, the session introduces key concepts of practice education theory, equipping managers with foundational knowledge to enhance their ability to support and educate newly qualified professionals effectively.
