Abstract

The use of alternative models of social work field education and supervision has become more prominent recently in response to the changes occurring in the university and industry sector. An emerging challenge for field education teams is to continue to source a sufficient supply of placements, and simultaneously ensure the integrity of these models in terms of the quality of student learning and sustainability of these alternative placement models into the future. This chapter examines best practice principles in providing quality learning experiences for students on placement. We provide a framework for thinking holistically about quality and sustainability in placement arrangements and consider one Australian and one international example of alternative placement models in relation to this framework. The framework proposes internal elements and external factors that can protect or potentially compromise the student learning experience.
