Answer 1

yea social work is probably the best one for you as you are interested in social care
maybe you can try find in your local area voluntary work or something with social workers which will give you an insight into social care work which will help you confirm if you definitely want to that as your career.
From there you could join your local college on a course called 'access to social care' or might be called 'access to social work'. Its a one year course and from there you can gain entry into higher education to become a social worker.
Good luck with everything you do xx

Answer 2

I would contact your local social work department and ask if they have any volantry places in the area you want to work in or if they have sessional workers this will give you a taste of what is actually invollved in social work and if you still feel this is the career for you then you could enrol at your local college and do a social work course

Answer 3

Depending on what you already have, you'll need to get a Master's in Social work, and then test to get licensed. You may already have the qualifications to start your masters, but if not, you may have to take some undergrad courses to prep for grad school. Good luck!

Answer 4

Social workers have Masters degrees in Social Work. So, you start in school.
