Designated Practice Learning Centre for the Degree in social work

The purpose of the work placement is to offer students, supervised and assessed practice learning which will offer a range of experiences to the student; these are known as Practice Learning Requirements. There are nine mandatory assessed practice learning requirements which students are required to cover over the course of their practice learning periods. 

We seek to be creative and flexible in helping the students to meet the practice learning requirements that are stipulated by the social work degree, to enable the social work students to demonstrate their competence as fully rounded professionals, based on sound understanding of human development; of the systems in which they live and work; and methods of intervention which have been proved to produce beneficial outcomes for people who use social work services.
