Role play?
Speed group interview?
Thanks

Hi Do you have any information on this? I have the interview in 3 weeks and I am unsure what to expect. Also, unfortunately it is all over Zoom. Many thanks

I also have a zoom assessment booked and don't know what to expect. But the little I know is to equip yourself with the PCF point of entry. Hopefully it will help 🙏

Same! The written assessment is on Monday too. I was advised by a social worker to have atleast a basic knowledge of the recent serious case reviews in my area but other than that i have no clue what to expect but good luck to us all! Can we update eachother if we find any other info?

It was a case study with 4 short questions, a lot easier than i thought it would be! You get an hour & theres a timer at the top. I was so nervous too but you will be fine!

Has anybody put in a reasonable adjustment request? The date for my written assessment has just been changed to the date of my Grandma’s funeral. I’m really hoping it can be changed but I’m really worried, Will have to keep my fingers crossed 😞
