Becoming and being a field educator : social workers' experiences of providing social work placements

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperConference Paperpeer-review

Abstract

This expansion of Social Work in contemporary higher education is occurring within the broader setting of a pervasive, neoliberal and economic rationalist discourse. The impacts of this are that all aspects of work in the field have been subject to increased workload, competition, and pressure on service funding. Alongside these changes in the field, has been a significant increase in the number of Social Work students and programs; with a significant number of placements now provided by an onsite field educator who is not social work trained.
