Could I be eligible if I'm starting my course from year 2 as a APL student?

Yes, if you're joining a recognised social work course from year 2, as you've been allowed to skip the first year due to APL (Accreditation of Prior Learning), you can apply for a Social Work Bursary from year 2 of your course.

Any funding you're awarded will be subject to you meeting the eligibility requirements, as well as your university / college's capped bursary place allocation for that academic year.
