Welcome to The National Organisation for Practice Teaching (England)

NOPT promotes high-quality social work practice education and is involved in all key developments relating to social work training and standards. This includes contributing to BASW groups and SWE forums and taking an active role in ongoing reviews and updates. NOPT’s work adapts in response to developments within the profession and reflects the voices of its members.

NOPT hosts an annual conference to bring practice educators and others together to explore current social work practice and policy issues, and to share good practice. NOPT also works to gather and reflect the views of practice educators nationwide, helping to share information, influence discussion, and contribute to ongoing developments in the sector.
