The Teaching Partnership Team comprises of the Head of the Teaching Partnership, Clare Meadows; Teaching Partnership Project Lead, Kyla-Mae Harrison; Business Admin, Pianpian XU and a Lead Partnership Practice Consultant, who will be joining us soon.

Our overarching responsibility is to develop the quality of pre-qualifying and post-qualifying social work education through a series of initiatives involving students, academics, practice educators, onsite supervisors, those with lived experience, workforce development, newly qualified social workers, ASYE assessors, managers and many more key stakeholders.

Whilst the government funding initially enabled us to have a dedicated Teaching Partnership central team, it wouldn’t be possible to achieve our identified outcomes in isolation and the team works closely with representatives from a range of stakeholder groups across all the Partnership agencies.

Prior to April 2020, our Practice Consultant role was known as a Practice Education Development Worker. The key aim of this role was to improve the quality and quantity of Practice Education in the region. Whilst the role is still responsible for doing a considerable amount of work in the field of Practice Education, the role has evolved and as such the role title has been changed to reflect this.
