The SWTF recommended that service users and carers should be consistently and substantially involved in the design, management and delivery of courses (Building a safe, confident future p.26).

The importance of sustaining and improving involvement in selection, teaching and assessment of University of Bedfordshire students is strongly supported by the partnership as benefiting student learning and preparation for practice and work will continue with the current Experts by Experience (XbyX) group to continue to develop this.

Through its endorsement scheme, the College will be monitoring the involvement of service users and cares in social work education and the recommendations made by the recent SCIE/TCSW document.
