Approach Social Work (Frontline)

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

At Frontline – a charity working in England – everything we do aims to make life better for children at risk of harm.

Each year, our nation’s social workers support hundreds of thousands of children who do not have a safe and stable home. They make a real difference to their lives and to those of their families. Our mission is to create social change for children and families, by developing excellent social work practice, leadership and innovation.

Approach Social Work (formerly known as the Frontline programme) is a three-year, fully-funded master’s programme, building a new, diverse generation of social workers. 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. Meaning you can earn while you learn, then open the door to a job that makes a difference.

We also offer insight events and paid internships, to help you build the knowledge and skills to thrive in a social change career.
