Few social workers feel training provides ‘digital readiness’ for practice, research finds

Only a small minority of social workers feel their initial training prepares them for using digital technologies in practice, a study has found.
Just 11% of 647 respondents to a survey carried out as part of research by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) and British Association of Social Workers (BASW) said that their initial social work training had addressed their “digital readiness” for the job. Over half found their training unhelpful.
