“Whatever academics may believe about the brilliance of their teaching or research, the fact is that what most matters to qualifying social work students is the quality of their placement opportunities - the quality of practice educators, the support offered to students with diverse learning needs, the practice environment, and the fairness and transparency of assessment. This accessible, coherent, logical guide helps all of those engaged in the practice learning process to achieve the very best for students and therefore, implicitly, for those in need of social work services. The book makes a major contribution to assuring the future of social work by ensuring that students are given the best opportunities within practice learning contexts.Nigel HornerVisiting Professor for Social Work and Interprofesssional Education, University of Lincoln
