The Social Work Practice Learning Funding: Research and Evaluation was commissioned by the Social Work Education Partnership (SWEP) and completed by a research team, based within Learning Network West, in September 2023. The report was shared through the SWEP Programme Office with stakeholder partners on 12 December 2023. The commission was made to illuminate current practice learning funding arrangements and to inform improvements that could be made to the system.
SWEP Strategic Group welcomes the level of detail contained within the report and. recognises the potential need for additional rigour and further evidence to allow for national consistency. The SWEP Strategic Group also acknowledges that several of the recommendations link to work already underway at a national level, both under the auspices of the proposed National Social Work Agency and the Scottish Social Services Council.
Alongside intelligence gathered elsewhere, SWEP will use the report findings to shape and influence the future support for practice learning.
