Train to become a first rate social work practitioner at UEA. Social work is about working with people, usually to help them achieve their goals, sometimes to protect them or others. You could work with children, young people, parents, people with mental health problems, people with physical disabilities or learning disabilities, older people, and with relatives and friends who care for them. At UEA, we see social work as a practical and ethical profession that helps people and makes a difference to their lives.
