VIDEO: Social workers on why they joined Surrey’s new academy

Following the launch of a new academy, social workers explain why they joined Surrey County Council’s training initiative.

New recruits Ruth Pates, Emma Lewis, George Ukor and Helen Berentzen talk about how the academy is giving them the best possible start to the job of keeping children safe.

And they set out why they think the one-year programme is providing the platform they need to make progress in their careers.
