Reviews for Studying for your Social Work Apprenticeship: A Supportive Guide

This book provides the foundational knowledge for the Social Work Degree Apprenticeship. From maximising practice placements to honing critical thinking and reflection, it’s a must-read for those embarking on this rewarding journey. * Lawrence Badman-Richards, Programme Lead for the Social Work Degree Apprenticeship, University of Plymouth, UK * An accessible book for all social work apprentices, covering key elements of the apprenticeship journey and the fundamentals of social work education. This is the perfect text for both apprentices returning to learning and those more familiar with higher education. I would thoroughly recommend. * Rowena Pyott, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of Lincoln, UK * This is a holistic guide to the social work apprenticeship journey, which covers all you need to know and answers questions that come up again and again – with a little extra too. There are lots of reflection and tips on how to make the most of the learning – fantastic! * Sue Connell, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, Kingston University, UK * This book is a significant contribution to preparing and supporting social work apprentices through their learning journey, providing links between off the job and on the job learning. A great contribution to this area. * David Mercer, Course Director for Social Work, Leeds Beckett University, UK *
