Riassunto

Drawing on a diverse range of international contributors, both students and practitioners, this unique book presents a collection of innovative new approaches to social work placements. Chapters highlight key issues like sustainability, student-led services, overseas placements, the value of the third sector, support for students from minority groups, and the visual arts. It challenges not only conventional approaches to placement finding but also teaching and assessment in field education. In a global climate of cuts to services and over-regulation, Practice Placement in Social Work offers practical guidance grounded in strong theoretical frameworks, giving hope to anyone responsible for ensuring quality placements for future professionals.
