Practice placement in social work - Innovative approaches for effective teaching and learning (Hardcover)

At a time of acute student placement shortages for all professions, this book proposes original solutions to creating and maintaining high quality opportunities for students. Chapters will explore key concerns including sustainability, food security and preparing social workers for global challenges; supporting students to undertake international placements; working with service users and carers as placement supervisors; developing support for students from minority ethnic groups; raising the profile of men in social work; and service provision through student labour; as well as the pedagogy informing practice learning.Doing fieldwork education will be essential reading for all those responsible for fieldwork education, both in social work worldwide and other professions where practical learning in the workplace is a requirement. With an emphasis on creativity and innovation the book will also appeal to educators charged with developing work-based learning opportunities in wider disciplines such as Health and Social Care studies.
