- The National Institute for Social Work Training was set up in 1961, following proposals put forward in the 1959 Eileen Younghusband report for an independent staff college for social work. Its initial funding was assured for ten years by the Nuffield Foundation and the Joseph Rowntree Memorial Trust. It was later renamed the National Institute for Social Work (NISW), with a governing body of some twenty-five members. Its staff worked throughout the United Kingdom, supporting users and carers, practitioners, managers and policy makers in their work. NISW also attracted students from other countries. NISW’s later funding came as a grant from the Department of Health and Social Security. This was supplemented by fees from courses and consultancies. Special projects e.g. research, were also funded by other government departments, as well by charitable trusts. NISW was located in Mary Ward House, Tavistock Place, London. NISW North opened in 1986 with an office in Leeds. When the National Institute for Social Work closed in 2003, its archives were deposited at the Modern Records Centre, University of Warwick. Its Library collection moved to the Social Care Institute for Excellence, as did some staff from the Institute’s Research Unit. Other research staff working on the social services workforce project were transferred to King’s College, University of London. (en)
