Ms Rosarii Mannion:

For social work as it currently stands, because this is a master's degree qualification, the entry criteria we are looking at are an undergraduate degree with a broad basis of social policy or recognition of prior learning. When we advertise, we will look at candidates with an undergraduate degree or lived experience and an interest. We had an excellent report from Dr. Joe Mooney in UCD, commissioned and funded by the Department of children. It is entitled Pathways to Social Work. We can share it with members; it is on the website. A strong recommendation coming-----
