Introduction
All social workers who want to work in England have to be registered with Social Work
England. This guidance is for people from the EEA and Switzerland who would like to apply
to join the register.
If you’re a citizen of Switzerland or a European Economic Area (EEA) member state, or if you
have EU enforceable rights (for example, through marriage), you can use your social work
qualifications to practise social work in England.1
Our register
The Social Work England register is publicly available at socialworkengland.org.uk. Anybody
can search the register to check that a social worker is registered and find out:
• their Social Work England registration number;
• whether they’re subject to any registration conditions;
• the postal town in which they work; and
• whether they’re subject to any fitness to practise sanctions or proceedings.
‘Social worker’ is a protected title, meaning that only people on the register can practise as
a social worker in England.2 Anyone who uses the title of social worker and who is not
registered is committing an offence and can be prosecuted.

Professional standards
To apply for registration you‘ll need to confirm that you’ve read, understood, and will
comply with our professional standards.3 These are the standards we expect all social
workers to meet and uphold throughout their registration and are necessary for safe and
effective practice. They set out what a social worker in England must know, understand and
do throughout their career. You must comply with these standards to stay on our register
and failure to do so may be taken into account in fitness to practise proceedings.4 You can
read the standards on our website.

How to apply for registration
If you’re applying to register with us for the first time, you’ll need to create an online
account by visiting our website at socialworkengland.org.uk. Please contact us if you need
any help with this.
You can use your Social Work England online account to:
• apply to be a registered social worker;
• pay your scrutiny and registration fee;
• record your continuing professional development (CPD);
• renew your registration annually; and
• update some of your personal details when you need to.
You can also make an application to join the register using a paper application form. To request a form, please call us on 0808 196 2274 or email us at [email protected]. To complete the application process, you’ll need:
• a personal email address for us to contact you on;
• to verify your identity through GOV.UK Verify or to send us documents so we can
confirm your identify;
• evidence you’re a citizen, or married to a citizen, of Switzerland or an EEA member
state;
• details of the qualification that entitles you to join the register;
• evidence to demonstrate your knowledge of English;
• details of any criminal convictions or cautions except those that are ‘protected’ (see
below for details on protected convictions and cautions);
• details of any health conditions you have that may affect your practice as a social
worker; and
• details of any occasions when your fitness to practise has been found to be impaired
by any regulatory body.

Your documents
Throughout the online application process, you can upload supporting documents such as
your qualification certificate. These must be certified colour copies. If you’re unable to
upload your documents, you can send your supporting documents to us by post. Please do
not send original documents unless we’ve specifically requested them.
To certify your documents, you’ll need to ask a person of standing in the community to
confirm that any copies are true copies of the original documents. The person you ask
should not be related to you, living at the same address, or in a relationship with you.
A ‘person of standing in the community’ refers to:
• a lawyer or notary;
• a regulated health or social care professional;
• a bank manager or other bank official;
• a member of the judiciary or other judicial official;
• a minister of the church, rabbi, imam or other recognised religious official;
• a member of a parliament, other legislative body or local government authority;
• a consular officer;
• a teacher or lecturer; or
• a member of a regulated profession.
To certify your documents, the person certifying your documents must compare each
original document with the copy and write on the copy:
• ‘I certify that this is a true copy of the original document seen by me’;
• their signature and full name;
• the date of certification; and
• their occupation, professional address and phone number.
If your copies are not clear enough, or if we’re unable to verify their authenticity, we may
request to see your original documents.
7
Documents not written in English
Any documents that’re not written in English must be accompanied by a certified
translation.5 This means that the translation company should confirm, by writing on the
translation, that:
• the translation is a ‘true and accurate translation of the original document’;
• the date of the translation; and
• the full name and contact details of the translator or a representative of the
translation company.
Again, if your copies are not clear enough, or if we are unable to verify their authenticity, we
may request to see your original documents.
Verifying your identity
If you have a UK address, you may be able to verify your identity using GOV.UK Verify. This is
a secure way to prove who you are online. It’s guaranteed by the government to hold your
data securely and usually takes between 20 and 45 minutes to verify your identity for the
first time.
If you do not live in the UK, or are unable to use GOV.UK Verify, you’ll need to provide
documents that prove your identity and address. You’ll need to send us:
• one form of photographic ID, such as your passport or driving licence; and
• one form of proof of address, such as a bank statement or utility bill that’s
addressed to you and dated within the last three months.
We’ll also need to see additional documents to verify that you’re an EEA or Swiss citizen, or
otherwise entitled to EU enforceable rights.6
Please see the ‘your documents’ section above for information about how to provide these
documents.
Fees
Scrutiny fees
If you qualified outside the UK, you’ll need to pay a non-refundable scrutiny fee of £495
when you submit your application.7 This pays for the time and resources it takes us to
5 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 23. 6 The European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2015, reg 38(1)(a); The
European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007, reg 31(1)(a). 7 The Social Workers Regulations 2018, regulation 17(1)(a); The Social Work England (Fees) Rules 2019, rule 4(3).

process this type of application. We cannot begin processing your application without this
payment.8
If your application is successful, you’ll also need to pay a registration fee.9
Registration fees
If your application to join the Social Work England register is successful, we’ll let you know
through your online account that you’ll need to pay a registration fee.10
When you first join our register, your registration fee will be calculated based on the length
of time remaining before the end of the current registration period, as shown in the table
below. Each registration period runs from 1 December to 30 November.11
You must pay this fee in full within 10 working days of our first request for payment. If you
do not pay your fees within 10 working days, we’ll close your application.12 If you still wish
to practise as a social worker, you will need to make a new application to join the register.
You’ll need to pay a £90 registration fee annually when you apply for renewal.13 The
renewal period is 1 September to 30 November.14 You can find more information about
renewal fees in our fees guidance on our website.

How to pay
The easiest way to make payments is through your Social Work England online account
which uses GOV.UK Pay. If you are unable to use GOV.UK Pay, please contact us.
Qualification requirements
To register as a social worker, you must have completed a recognised social work
qualification.15
Mutual recognition of professional qualifications
The mutual recognition of professional qualifications (MRPQ) directive 2005/36/EC enables
people to have their professional qualifications recognised across the EEA and Switzerland.
This is to allow citizens to move freely between these states to practise their profession.
You’ll be eligible to apply for registration under recognition of professional qualifications
legislation if the following applies.
• You’re a citizen of an EEA member state or Switzerland or you have EU enforceable
rights that mean you can be treated no less favourably than an EEA or Swiss national
(for example, through marriage). (Please note this is a complicated area of law and
we suggest seeking independent legal advice if you think this applies to you).
And either:
• You’re a fully qualified social worker in an EEA member state or Switzerland (if social
work is not regulated in that state you must also have practised there for at least
one year within the last 10 years).16
Or:
• You qualified outside the EEA and Switzerland, and your qualification has been
recognised by an EEA state or Switzerland. You must also have practised as a social
worker in the recognising state for at least three years within the last ten years.17
15 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 14 16 The European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2015, reg 29(1)(b); The
European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007, 22(1)(b) 17 The European Union (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2015, reg 27(a)(i); The
European Communities (Recognition of Professional Qualifications) Regulations 2007, reg 20(1)(a)
10
Evidence of your qualification
If your qualification was gained in England, we’ll usually be able to check your qualification
against course provider records. If your qualification was gained anywhere other than
England, you’ll need to provide us with evidence of your qualification.
For qualifications gained outside England you’ll need to provide:
• your certificate;
• the name and address of your course provider;
• the name and address of the awarding body; and
• a full transcript showing all the modules you studied unless you qualified in the UK).
Your certificate must show the date your qualification was awarded. If your certificate does
not show the date, you’ll need a letter from your institution confirming this date.
If you gained your qualification outside the UK, we may contact your course provider for
information about the areas you covered. Our partners, who are qualified social workers,
will assess whether your qualification is of an equivalent standard to those we recognise in
England.18
If we feel there are significant areas in which your skills, knowledge and experience do not
meet our standards, we may ask you to undertake a period of adaptation.19 This is a period
of supervised practice and/or academic training intended to make up for the shortfalls that
have been identified. Alternatively, you may wish to take a test of competence. You can find
out more about periods of adaptation, and how we test competence on our website.
Qualifications awarded more than five years ago
If you’ve been practising as a social worker
If you have been practising as a registered social worker outside England, you’ll need to tell
us:
• the regulatory body you were, or are, registered with;
• your registration number with that body; and
• the dates of your registration period.
If there was not a regulatory body in the country where you practised, you must provide us
with information about the work you were doing.
18 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 25 (1) 19 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 25 (5)
11
If you’ve not been practising as a social worker since you qualified
If you gained your recognised social work qualification more than five years ago and you’ve
not been practising as a registered social worker for at least 12 months within the last five
years, you’ll need to give us evidence to show how you have kept your skills, knowledge and
experience up to date.20
You can do this by providing evidence that you’ve completed relevant education and/or
training. This must cover at least 60 days in the 12 months before you make your
application.21 A day is defined as a minimum of seven hours. The 60 days do not need to be
continuous.
You can use one or more of the following three options to update your skills, knowledge and
experience. However, private study can make up no more than half of the required period
of updating your skills, knowledge and experience. This means that you can undertake
private study for up to 30 of the required 60 days.
Supervised practice
Supervised practice involves working with the supervision of a registered social worker in a
social work role. You can undertake supervised practice in the UK or another country. Your
supervisor must be registered with the relevant regulatory body for the duration of your
supervised practice and have been registered as a social worker for at least three years.
They must also not be subject to any fitness to practise sanctions or proceedings.
For each period of supervised practice, you undertake during the 12 month period, you’ll
need to provide:
• the contact details of your supervisor;
• the name of the regulatory body they’re registered with;
• their registration number;
• the dates and number of hours of your supervised practice; and
• details of what your supervised practice involved.
We’ll contact your supervisor for them to confirm this information.
Formal study
A postgraduate course will be accepted as formal study as long as a qualification in social
work was necessary to enrol on the course. You’ll need to send us a certified copy of your
20 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 14 (2) 21 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 14(2)(a) and 14(4)
12
certificate or upload a scan of the original so we can verify your qualification. We may also
contact your course provider for confirmation.
Private study
Private study is a method of updating your skills and knowledge through self-structured
learning. Some examples of the types of activities that you may include in your period of
private study are:
• reading journal articles or library books;
• reading information on relevant websites;
• observing or shadowing a social worker (which is different from supervised practice
as there is no formal supervision arrangement);
• attending training courses; and
• reflecting on and recording your learning.
Private study can make up no more than half of your 60 day updating period.
You’ll need to keep a record of the activities you undertake throughout any period of
private study. When you apply to join the register, you’ll need to demonstrate how each
aspect of your private study has contributed to your learning and enabled you to meet our
professional standards. For each day or activity that makes up your private study, it’s
important that you keep a record of:
• the date
• the number of hours
• what you did, and
• how this helped you meet our professional standards.
Your responsibility
It’s your responsibility to make sure what you learn during a period of updating your skills,
knowledge and experience is enough to meet our professional standards. You can view our
professional standards on our website.
13
Knowledge of English
Before we can add you to our register, we need to be confident that your English is of a
suitable standard. This means that you need to be able to speak and write in English,
understand people when they speak to you in English, and understand documents written in
English.
Evidence to demonstrate your knowledge of English
You can give us any evidence you feel demonstrates your knowledge of English. If your
evidence is not recent, it’s more likely to be accepted if you provide additional evidence
showing you’ve kept your English skills up to date. This could include a reference from an
employer or evidence that you’ve recently worked in a country where English is the first and
native language.
We’ll consider all the evidence you provide when making a decision about your application.
There are certain types of evidence that are more likely to satisfy us that your knowledge of
English meets the necessary standard.22 These are outlined below.
IELTS certificates
For us to accept an international English language testing system (IELTS) qualification, your
certificate must show:
• that you took the academic version of the test;
• that you got an overall score of at least 7.0; and
• the original stamp and test report form number.
If you received your IELTS qualification more than five years ago, your application is more
likely to be accepted if you also provide more recent evidence of your knowledge of English.
Social work qualifications gained in the UK
If you have a UK social work qualification that’s recognised by Social Work England, you can
use it as evidence of your knowledge of English. If you received your qualification more than
five years ago, you should also provide more recent supporting evidence.
22 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 16
14
Social work qualifications gained outside the UK and taught in English
In some circumstances, it’s possible to use your social work qualification as evidence of your
knowledge of English. To do this, your qualification must have been obtained both:
• within the last 5 years; and
• in a country where English is the first and native language.
We’ll contact your course provider directly to confirm that the qualification was entirely
taught and examined in English.
Practising social work in English
If you’ve been registered and practising as a social worker in a country where English is the
first and native language, this can be used as evidence of your knowledge of English. We’re
more likely to accept this evidence if:
• you were registered and practising for at least one year in the last five years; and
• an English language assessment was required for registration.
You’ll need to provide details of the regulatory body you were registered with as well as
contact details for your employer. We’ll contact your employer directly to confirm you’ve
been practising using English.
15
Convictions, cautions and penalty notices
Convictions and cautions
You must declare any convictions or cautions that have been issued to you in the UK or any
other country.23 We have powers to require all applicants to disclose these matters.
You must declare:
• all convictions and cautions, including spent convictions and cautions, issued in the
UK or any other country unless they are ‘protected’ (see below for details on
protected convictions and cautions);
• all road traffic convictions or cautions unless they are ‘protected’ (see below for
details on protected convictions and cautions); and
• all offences for which you have been convicted in a military court or tribunal.
You should provide as much information as possible about any convictions or cautions to
allow us to make a decision about your application. If we need to ask for more information,
your application will take longer to process.
You must provide the following information in relation to each of the convictions or
cautions you have.
• Whether you received a caution or were convicted of an offence
• The offence the conviction or caution relates to
• The date of the conviction or caution
• The name and address of the issuing court or police authority, if known
• Any other information that you believe will help to explain the circumstances that
led to the conviction or caution
Penalty notices
You must also declare any fixed penalty notices, penalty notices for disorder, or harassment
notices issued to you in the UK or any other country, with the exception of:
• any road traffic offences where you have paid a fixed penalty notice, for example,
speeding offences or civil matters such as parking tickets; and
• any fixed penalty notices, penalty notices for disorder, or harassment notices issued
in Scotland (these are protected from disclosure by amendments to the
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974).
23 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 15(1) and 15(2)
16
Please provide the following information in relation to each of the above notices you have
received.
• The offence the notice was issued for
• The date you received the notice
• The name and address of the authority who issued you with the notice, if known
• Any other information that will help to explain the circumstances that led to the
notice being issued
17
Protected convictions and cautions
Some convictions and cautions are protected by law, meaning you do not need to declare
them to us. If you do tell us about a protected offence, we won’t take it into account when
we assess your application for registration.
Protected cautions
A caution is protected and you do not need to tell us about it if both of the following apply.
• More than six years have passed since you received the caution (or more than two
years have passed if you were under the age of 18 at the time of the caution)
• It's not for a ‘listed offence’ (see below)
Protected convictions
A conviction is protected, and you do not need to tell us about it if all of the following apply.
• More than 11 years have passed since the date of conviction (or more than five years
and six months have passed if you were under the age of 18 when convicted)
• It’s not for a ‘listed offence’ (see below)
• You did not receive a custodial sentence
• You have not been convicted of any other offence at any time
Listed offences
The offences we recognise as listed offences are specified in our legislation and include
serious violent or sexual offences. They also include other offences that are relevant to the
role of a social worker.24 You will not be eligible for registration if you’ve been convicted of a
listed offence, unless this conviction has been quashed or overturned.25
You must also tell us if you’ve committed an offence abroad that would be considered a
listed offence in England.26 If you’re aware that you have committed an offence overseas
that may be equivalent to an offence in the UK, you should seek independent expert or legal
advice to check whether you need to tell us about it.
What happens if I disclose a conviction, caution or penalty notice?
If you disclose a conviction, caution or penalty notice we’ll assess whether this is likely to
impact your ability to practise safely and effectively. We’ll take into account the nature of
the offence, when it occurred and whether you have committed any other offences. We’ll
24 The Social Workers Regulations 2018, Schedule 3 25 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 13 26 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 13(2)
18
also take into account any details you provide about the circumstances surrounding the
offence.
We’ll contact the police to verify any details you provide about your convictions, cautions or
penalty notices to help us decide whether your fitness to practise will be affected.
Safeguarding vulnerable groups legislation
During the application process, you’ll also be asked to disclose whether you are, or have
ever been:
• listed on the adults’ or children’s list under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups
(Scotland) Act 2007;
• listed on the adults’ and or children’s list under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups
(Northern Ireland) Order 2007;
• subject to a barring order under the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act (2006); or
• barred from working with vulnerable people in any other country.
If any of these apply to you, you’ll need to provide us with full details.27
27 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 15 (4)
19
Health conditions
When you apply to join the register, you’ll also need to tell us about any physical or mental
health conditions that may impact your practice as a social worker.28 We use the term
‘health condition’ to mean an illness, injury, disability, or impairment.
Why we ask about health conditions
We ask about health conditions because we need to know that the people on our register
are able to fulfil their role as a social worker safely and effectively. Our focus is whether you
have a health condition that could adversely or negatively affect your practice, not whether
you have a health condition that you are able to manage effectively.
Many people with health conditions are able to practise safely and effectively. You may
receive support or treatment from a health care professional. Additionally, your employer
has a responsibility to discuss what reasonable adjustments they can provide to support you
at work.
Which conditions do I need to disclose?
You must tell us about a health condition if both of the following apply.
• Your health condition affects, or could affect, your ability to perform your role as a
social worker safely and effectively (this includes any episodic or occasional
conditions that may affect your ability to practise safely and effectively if you
experience a recurrence).
• You do not have arrangements in place that manage the health condition and enable
you to perform your role as a social worker safely and effectively.
If the above criteria apply to your health condition, we’ll need to know more about the
effect your health condition may have on your ability to perform your role and what steps
you’re taking towards managing the condition. You should include the following information
in your application.
• The nature and seriousness of your health condition
• Whether it’s an ongoing or episodic (occasional) condition
• How your condition may affect your ability to practise safely and effectively
• What steps you’re taking to manage your health condition (for example medication,
reduced hours) and how effective these are
• Whether you’ve made your employer aware of your condition
28 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 15 (5)
20
• Any relevant dates of occurrences and treatment
What happens if I disclose a health condition?
If you declare a health condition to us, we’ll need to be sure that you have insight and
understanding into your condition and its effects. We need to know that you’ve considered
how certain aspects of your practise may be affected and that you’ve taken appropriate
steps to make sure you do not put yourself or others at risk.
We consider each application on a case by case basis. In some cases, we may need to speak
with your doctor or other treating clinician, but we’ll never do this without your permission.
All information regarding your health will be treated in the strictest confidence and will only
be shared with those who need it to deal with your application.
Fitness to practise history
During the application process, we’ll ask you whether your fitness to practise has ever been
found to be impaired. You must tell us if any regulator has ruled against you in fitness to
practise proceedings either in the UK or abroad.29 This includes regulators outside of the
social work profession.
If a regulatory body has ever found your fitness to practise to be impaired, you must provide
the following information.
• The name of the regulatory body
• The date that they made their decision
The outcome of your fitness to practise case (for example whether you were suspended,
removed from the register etc.)
• Any further details about the case that will help to us understand the circumstances
that led to the decision

Before you submit your application, you’ll be asked to complete a declaration to confirm the
following.
• I confirm that I have read, understood and will comply with Social Work England’s
professional standards.
• I confirm that I have read and understood the privacy notice and understand that
Social Work England will process my data as required by the Social Worker
Regulations 2018 and associated rules.
• I agree to pay the fees for my registration.
• I understand that Social Work England may contact other relevant person(s) or
organisations to obtain further information about my application or to verify the
information that I have provided and agree that any person who is so contacted may
provide Social Work England with any information about me which that person
holds.
• I confirm that the information I have provided in this application is correct and
understand that fraudulently procuring an entry in the Social Work England register
is an offence under the regulations for which I may be prosecuted.
Honesty and integrity
It’s important to be honest when applying to join our register. If you give false or misleading
information, we may deny your application for registration or remove you from the
register.30
You must tell us as soon as possible if any of your details change. It’s your responsibility to
make sure all the information we hold about you is up-to-date and accurate throughout
30 The Social Work England (Registration) Rules 2019, rule 21(2)(b)
22
your registration. This includes your personal and employment details as well as any
information relevant to your fitness to practise (as required by standard 6.6 of our
professional standards). Failure to inform us of any changes could lead to you being
suspended or removed from the register.31
31 The Social Workers Regulations 2018, reg 16(1)
23
Making a decision about your application
Once we’ve received your application, we’ll review the information you’ve provided. We’ll
let you know the outcome of our assessment within 60 days32 and will contact you if we
need any additional documents or information. You must make sure we receive these within
14 days if you’d like to continue with your application.33
Following our assessment of your application, we may ask you to undertake a period of
adaptation or an English language assessment before we can make a decision about your
application.
When making a decision about your application, we have three options. We may:
• accept your application to join the register;
• refuse your application to join the register; or
• accept your application with conditions (you can read our guidance on registration
with conditions on our website).
If your application is accepted, we’ll let you know through the message centre on your
online account and request payment of your registration fee. You’ll then need to pay your
registration fee within 10 working days from the date of our request. Once we’ve received
your registration fee, we’ll add you to the register within 10 working days of your
payment.34
You must not carry out any work as a social worker until you have received confirmation
from us that you’ve been added to the register.
