Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many social workers within the Province have completed degree courses; and how many individuals commence training in social work in the Province in each of the last five years. [220661] Angela Smith: The Degree in Social Work, which recently replaced the Diploma in Social Work (DipSW) as the professional social work qualification, had its first intake of students in Northern Ireland in September 2004. There are, therefore, no social workers in the Northern Ireland social work workforce holding this qualification as yet. No information is held centrally on other degrees held by social workers. This is not a requirement for employment as a social worker. The Northern Ireland Social Care Council has advised that over the last five years the numbers of new students commencing training for social work in Northern Ireland are as shown in the following tables. Diploma in Social Work (DipSW): Student intake _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
