Closed petition Remove the Maths training requirements for social work apprenticeships

Closed on

I would like to have the maths requirements removed from social work apprenticeships, as this is a barrier to people becoming social workers. We need social workers.

We have a shortfall in social workers already, and people may be put off from pursuing these apprenticeships due to the maths training requirements. There are people who may excel in this field if they were not put off by these requirements. Let's not lose those people.
