The Professional Capabilities Framework (PCF) sets out the profession’s expectations of what a social worker should be able to do at each stage of their career and professional development. Whilst it refers to the career stages set out by the Social Work Task Force, it is a professional, rather than an occupational framework. It is expected that the framework will be used by and for all social workers, in conjunction with the Social Work Reform Board (SWRB) Standards for Employers.
