Effective Practice Learning in Social Work by Jonathan Parker
The Department of Health requires students on the social work degree to undertake at least 200 days in direct practice learning during their course. Practice learning often raises great anxieties for students, agencies and those who supervise and assess it. This book tackles those anxieties, explaining the ways the experience can deliver a unique learning opportunity for the student. It is ideal for students undertaking or about to undertake practice learning, student supervisors and practice assessors, as well as trainers and policymakers within social care agencies and health care professions where practice learning is also undertaken.
"Very useful for students and myselfGreat summaries of theories that make them easy to access"(Social Worker and Practice Teacher, Bournemouth University)
