What if the person is working in a related profession but it is not called social work? For example, a person working for Barnardos or Childline may be known as project or youth worker rather than a social worker. What will happen in respect of the underlying qualification? A person could be a social care worker and doing work that is relevant in that area but not be working as a social care worker. It is an issue which needs further consideration.
