Thank you taking the time to fill in this questionnaire which the Scottish Social Services Council has agreed to host on behalf of the Scottish Executive.

As part of the Minister for Education and Young People's Action Plan for the Social Work Services Workforce, the Scottish Executive is reforming social work professional education. To assist with that work PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) have been commissioned to assess some of the costs of social work training.

This questionnaire is designed to gather information relating to the costs for students in undertaking placements as part of the Diploma in Social Work. If you are a social work student currently studying in Scotland the Scottish Executive would very much like you to complete this questionnaire. For every student that helps us and returns a completed questionnaire by the due date, we will provide a £5 book token - just let us know your name and address and the place where you are studying. If there are any problems about completing the questionnaire, please contact David Maclaren at david.j.maclaren@uk.pwcglobal.com, phone no 0131 226 4488.

Once you have completed the questionnaire please send it by 16 August 2002 to:
PricewaterhouseCoopers
Waterfront Plaza8
Laganbank Road

The Scottish Executive will be distributing the book tokens once the survey is complete. Thank you again for your time.
