  Post-registration training and learning could change in 2008
Post-registration training and learning (PRTL) could be reformed this year if it is judged as being ‘unfit for purpose’, the General Social Care Council has said. Under GSCC requirements, all social workers must undertake 90-hours or 15-days of study or training during their registration period to advance the profession and their development.
