Welcome to the Social Work Placements support page

Placement is an important part of our BA and MA Social Work curriculum.  We are pleased to be able to offer a wide variety of statutory and voluntary sector placements across the region.  We work closely with our placement partners to ensure that our students have the best opportunities and are able to thrive throughout their placements.

The resources below are for current students and for our placement partners to support the placement experience.
