Learning Hub
Inside the Learning Hub, you’ll find focused, practical resources designed to build your confidence, competence, and calm in practice.
Each module is created with newly qualified social workers in mind — no overwhelm, no endless theory.
Just clear, supportive learning that helps you grow one step at a time.
You’ll have access to bite-sized videos, reflective prompts, and guidance that connects directly to your day-to-day work.
✨ Learn at your own pace, reflect deeply, and apply what you learn with confidence.
Training and Reflective Practice
Training inside the Academy goes beyond information — it’s about helping you apply, reflect, and grow.
Each course and resource is designed to support your ASYE journey, strengthen your decision-making, and help you build calm, confident, and capable practice.
With every session, you’ll be guided to think critically, reflect intentionally, and embed your learning in a way that lasts.
💡 Learn, reflect, and take action — all within one supportive space.
Quarterly Masterclasses
Every quarter, you’ll join a live masterclass led by me — designed around the real issues shaping social work right now.
These aren’t pre-recorded or generic trainings. They’re interactive, topical sessions where we dig into current challenges, explore best practice, and create space for honest reflection.
You’ll have focused time with me and other members to ask questions, share insights, and leave with clarity and confidence you can take straight into your work.
🗓 Upcoming: Managing OFSTED Criteria, Working in Difficult Circumstances, and Planning for 2026 — December 9th.
Community
The Collective Academy is more than training — it’s a space to feel supported and understood.
Here, you’ll connect with other newly qualified social workers who share your values, challenges, and commitment to growth.
Through live discussions, Q&As, and shared reflection, you’ll gain a network of encouragement and accountability — so you never have to navigate this journey alone.
🌿 Learn alongside others who want to grow — and feel supported every step of the way.
