Hi, I'm a participant from the first cohort. All I can say is have patience with the process and if you get through to the following rounds, enjoy them and be yourself. Good luck 😊

Hi first congratulations for getting into the program and thank you for replaying. I have sent my application this week.
Do you mind telling me where the summer school is located? Also, does the program involve working with people with dementia?
Many thanks

This year, the summer school was in Leeds, but they may change that. You may well work with people with dementia, but that isn't the case for every placement, it will depend where you are placed.

Hi guys,
Any of you that got through to the assessment centre stage, im just wondering if they allocate a assessment centre that is close to your location or is there only one that everyone has to travel to?
thanks

Hello all. I know this is last years thread but I have been accepted for the 2017 cohort and am thinking about placements already!
Is anyone on this thread currently placed within Sussex Partnership Trust? If so would you mind sharing your experiences so far (along with actual locations of placement), as I am trying to decide whether this is my 1st choice or St Georges (however I did my nursing and midwifery training there and also my MH placement as part of that initial training albeit 15 years ago).
Many Thanks

Same! I'm pretty certain they said at the assessment centre that we would find out within a week? I thought the day was really good but I don't really know if I did well or badly, it was hard to judge after!

Hello everyone, I know this thread is incredibly old but wondering if anyone could share their experiences of Think Ahead? For the people that joined the programme, are you still working as social workers? Thanks!
