You also will need: Mathematics at National 5 Grade C, GCSE Grade C/4 or equivalent

Your personal statement is an important part of your application. It is important that you put time and thought into your personal statement and that you present it in a professional manner. You need to be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of social work and your motivation to train as a social worker. You should show that you have an understanding of working with people and of the skills, and values that are pertinent to the role of a social worker. Relevant work experience (paid and/or voluntary work included) is not required but could strengthen your application. Other voluntary or work experience can be considered if you are able to demonstrate an ability to transfer your learning and experience and to manage complex relationships in personal or work contexts. You should demonstrate this in your personal statement.
