Social work participation

In this section of the website you'll find information on our involvement with service users and carers and guidance for students undertaking shadowing of social workers.

Shadowing social workers

For new students coming to study social work at York, we strongly recommend completing a Shadowing Day before you arrive. Students from other universities may also find this information useful. 

Service users and carers participation group (SUPAGroup)

Service Users and Carers are involved in all aspects of social work student’s education from admissions, through teaching to assessment. Members of SUPAGroup bring a wide variety of valuable experience and knowledge to the education of social work students at University of York.
