What does it actually say on unis websites?
If they dont specify any particular subjects, then you are fine to do whatever subjects you want, as long as you get the required grades.
Sociology may be a good subject to do.
English, Maths, Psychology, Geography and History may also be worth looking into.

Confidence in asking questions and interacting with others is a skill which it looked for above A Levels.

Well it I looked at some and they just want a pass atleast in English and maths and a certain amount of subjects but that isn't important on what they are. These are about gcse subjects not a level

So sociology is a good a level? What else would you recommend as it seems that they just need 3 grades that meet the requirements
Sociology
Law Psychology
Religious Studies
History
English

All good choices for Social Work, as you need to be able to write well and coherently.
Logic, reasoning and interpretating information is also very good skills to have for this subject at university level.
