Making the Most of Your
Practice Learning Opportunities
 
or... Everything you ever wanted to
know about social work placements

Practice learning makes up half of the social work degree so successful　placements are vital for social work students.

This guide seeks to reduce any anxieties students might have about practice　learning. It provides advice to help students get the most out of their　placements whatever the setting. It will be particularly useful for students who are concerned about placements in non statutory settings.

A number of students have contributed to the guide offering advice based on their own experiences. Practice teachers have also contributed by outlining what they are looking for from students on placements.

Contents include: Understanding the context of practice learning in the degree; getting a placement; devising a personal profile; Statutory placements; what are Practice Teachers looking for?; clarifying learning needs; placement preparation; ground rules and boundaries; induction; taking responsibility for your own learning; reflective learning; managing learning alongside other requirements; getting the most from supervision; collecting evidence; specific hints and ideas for meeting the national occupational standards; managing endings; addressing difficulties in practice learning; what to do if you are failing a placement; beyond practice learning; applying for jobs; post qualifying training and learning.
