Your work matters. And the pressures you feel day to day are real.

The Social Work Way gives you practical tools that help you cut admin, stay organised, and get back to the parts of the job that actually matter. It’s made by a social worker, shaped by real experience, and built around what teams say they need.

You can record quicker, manage referrals without the hassle, use clear direct work tools, and find the information you need without digging around for it. You also get well-being support and space to reflect, because your role is demanding and you deserve tools that make it easier.

Thousands of practitioners across the UK are already using the app. They tell us it saves them time, helps them stay on top of their work, and takes some weight off their shoulders.

If you want something simple that helps you focus on families instead of paperwork, this is built for you.

You must download this app. I have found it so useful. The direct work tools are great and can be a good starting point. I wish something like this was around when i was doing frontline child protection.

I have seen first-hand how The Social Work Way App has supported Social Workers in undertaking their duties. From an operational perspective, this development has dramatically changed the demands on Social Workers, providing them with the tools for the job at their fingertips. I am so pleased that The Social Work Way App chose Merthyr Tydfil Children’s Services as a pilot

All practitioners within the team are utilising the social work way app on a daily basis which is streamlining and improving practice. From submitting referrals and case notes, utilising direct tools and obtaining information. This is not only saving valuable time, but in turn improving the quality of work submitted. The social work way app is transforming practice
