AI assessment for social work competency
Rubric-graded, human signed-off. Not a quiz generator.
Free plan - no card required.
Scorafy is the assessment-feedback layer for social work education and field placement. It reads a candidate's open-ended evidence - a risk-assessment scenario, a case write-up, a reflective account or a recorded simulated client interaction - then maps it to your rubric with cited evidence taken from the work. A qualified assessor reviews every result and signs off before it is recorded, so no judgement is made by software alone. Built for defensibility: every result carries a human sign-off and a full audit trail. It is not a case-management system or registry - it handles the part where the candidate's practice is scored.
What you assess for social work competency
- Assessing risk and safety, including reading the warning signs and deciding on a proportionate, safe response
- Engaging and building a working relationship with a client, including in a guarded or hostile situation
- Ethical decision-making, including balancing rights, autonomy and duty of care when they pull in different directions
- Working within scope and the law, including when to escalate, involve others or make a mandatory report
- Accurate, professional case recording that reflects the decision and its rationale
A worked rubric criterion
You define the criteria and levels. Scorafy grades each answer against them, with the evidence.
Criterion
Assesses risk and decides on a safe, proportionate response
Why a quiz won't cut it
Social work is judgement in situations with no clean answer, not recall of theory. A multiple-choice quiz can confirm a candidate knows a framework, but it cannot show whether they would read a risk correctly, engage a reluctant client, or make an ethical call when rights and safety conflict. That practice lives in how a candidate handles a scenario and justifies the decision. Scorafy grades that open-ended evidence against your rubric, so the applied practice and ethical reasoning are assessed, not the rote knowledge.
Written, video, audio or file
A recorded interaction adds value because engagement and communication are core social work skills. A candidate can upload a recording of a simulated client interview or a difficult conversation, and Scorafy assesses the actual interaction against your rubric - how they built rapport, handled risk, respected the client - alongside written work such as a case write-up. That gives the assessor real evidence of practice to confirm rather than a written account.
A qualified person signs off
Scorafy drafts the scoring against your rubric and references the evidence. A qualified assessor reviews every result, overrides anything, and finalises it. The AI score is kept alongside the human-final score as an audit trail, so no decision is solely automated and every result can be explained.
Compliance and defensibility
Social work decisions affect vulnerable people and evidence can be sensitive, so a human in the loop is essential. Scorafy is built compliance-first under the GDPR and the EU AI Act, and assessment is treated as a higher-scrutiny use of AI. A qualified assessor reviews and signs off every result - there is no solely-automated competency decision. Every score keeps an audit trail showing the rubric applied, the evidence cited, and the assessor who confirmed it, which is what you rely on at review or audit.
Frequently asked questions
Can Scorafy assess a recorded simulated client interaction?
Yes. A candidate can upload a recording of a simulated client interview or difficult conversation, plus a written case write-up. Scorafy assesses the interaction against your rubric, cites the moments that support each judgement, then a qualified assessor reviews and signs off.
Can the rubric reflect our practice standards and ethics framework?
Yes. You write the rubric and the levels, so it can require candidates to show risk assessment, ethical reasoning and practice within scope against the standards you teach. Scorafy grades the evidence against those criteria and shows the reasoning behind each score.
Does software decide whether a candidate is competent?
No. Scorafy scores the evidence and shows its reasoning, but a qualified assessor reviews and signs off every result before it is recorded. No competency decision is made by software alone.
How is sensitive evidence in submissions handled?
Scorafy is built compliance-first under the GDPR and EU AI Act, with an audit trail on every result. You set the rubric and your assessors control what is recorded, so sensitive information in submitted evidence is handled within your existing privacy obligations.
