Step Up to Social Work 2014

eurghhh I had my assessment day yesterday and I think I did really bad I'm disappointed because I feel like I didn't tell them enough about myself. I hope they do another cohort so I can apply again next year.

That's the thing, I received an email saying congrats and it had the criminal dec form and references form as the original email they sent didn't have the attachments so they said we will email you then if your successful so I was like yay. Then once I responded I got a phone call from like the head office saying congratulations your through to the next stage, but oh by the way the location has changed ill email you the details through later today, so I was like oh ok. Then the next thing the email came through but with Halton still on it so I emailed the normal email address as this one came from a no reply one and asked if the location had changed and they were like nope still the same. So now I'm like ok it must be Halton stadium but there still a niggling doubt because I'm like why would te woman on the phone lie lol x

Guys,
I am in bits, I was waiting and waiting.....I don't know what to do.....I have about five minutes ago received an email from Penna saying that I should have been at an assessment center today and should ring them to know what happened, why I did not show up!!!
Please, I did not receive an email or phone call about my assessment today!!!!

i called Penna and am waiting for them to get back to me.....actually crying it means so much to me.....

HI
Anyone from Central Eastern region .. Just finished 2nd day assessment so waiting to hear yay or nay .. Very nervous. Good luck everyone.

Have they been back in touch jazzy? I feel for you...what a stressful situation! Hope you get it resolved and can hopefully attend an alternative assessment day! X

Hi Winstonsone, thanks for your concern. Yes I am happy to say that they have been in touch and apologised.
They have arranged another day for me next week.
It has indeed been a stressful day.

Good luck with your application x

Oh what a stress. I got a telephone call on the 18th saying I'd been successful, they left a message asking me to call to confirm...I called to confirm my attendance and asked if it would be in the same location...the woman said 'as far as i know'. Then later that evening I got an email from noreply@nsw confirming thati had been invited to the assessment centre on the 26th at Halton stadium. It said to reply to this email (even though its a noreply address?) to confirm attendance. I replied even though I'd already confirmed over the phone. Maybe the lady thought you were attending a different day perhaps? Some of them are at alternative locations I think. I hope we end up at the right place! X

I was with you today, I'm really nervous too, just trying to put it to the back of my mind and stop going over what I should have done differently as it's too late to change anything now. Good luck and maybe I'll see you in January

Hey Goldiloxx ... Good luck and yeah positive thinking for Jan. I've stopped thinking about it now but we did well to get this far

Hi all I have my assessment day tomorrow in Birmingham. Is anyone else there? I've finally got all the documents together, I think. Really not sure what to expect. Am going between chilled out and complete melt down! Don't know what to look at to prepare or what to prepare for.

Hi deankb1. Yes the photo through me, forgot about that. Thank goodness tesco was open until 5! Where have you applied for. Did you get the email about arriving really early?

Well done to everyone who has had their assessments so far! I'm so nervous for tomorrow. My parents had my GCSE certificates (thank god), I'm just trying to get their scanner to work to get copies.

Did anyone attend the Greater Manchester assessment on Thursday?

I'm so nervous I can't even be decisive about whether to get the train or drive! I've no idea how to prepare either

Hiya I am at The Greater Manchester assessment day tomorrow. Confused by people talking about photos, haven't heard about this for our assessment day have you? I am sooo nervous about tomorrow. It seems that you cant do much to prepare so will just do my best and try to be confident!!x
