Teaching Practical Social Work

This book is a useful reference manual for both those practice teachers who are new to the task of teaching social work students, and the more experienced. It sets out some of the problems facing the new practice teacher, with suggestions for handling them. Discussion is deliberately kept to a minimum, but as previous editions have also been used by the trainers of practice teachers, exercises and ideas for overhead projections are included in this edition. The book still focuses on the individual practice teacher and student, tracing the placement from its inception to its end. The new edition takes into account the recent requirements of CCETSW, with the change from CQSW to the Diploma in Social Work, together with the current legislative changes caused by the NHS and Community Care Act, 1990.
