Practice learning: an introductory guide for organisations
This guide provides essential information to help your organisation prepare for practice learning. It will help you think about the learning opportunities you can offer social work students, the people who are involved in supporting students and areas to include in induction. Our Preparing for practice online tool for staff induction may also provide some more ideas.
