View the 2009 report on offering a practice learning opportunity to social work students.

With a changing population and move towards community based care of older people in 2009 Scottish Care (through the Private Care Sector Workforce initiative) in partnership with the Scottish Social Services Learning Network South East arranged for nine private care homes to offer a practice learning opportunity to a social work student.

The ground breaking project funded by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) helps with implications for the education, knowledge and skills of social work students and social workers.

The report on the successful project is available for download from the Private Care Sector Workforce website.
