It is the outcome of a project funded by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC) that aimed to create an online program to prepare practitioners to supervise social work students during their placements. The program is open to both social workers and practitioners from other disciplines" anyone who wants to learn about the theory and process of supervising social work students during their field education placement. The Guide content is adapted from the online program which is a masters' level subject, credited into many different postgraduate programs in Australia.
