Abstract

This paper considers the impact of an important policy change within South Lanarkshire Council (SLC), Scotland of its service delivery model for social work practice education. In 2005 the council decided to adopt a team teaching approach to student learning. A mixed methodology of interviews and comparative documentary analysis was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the ‘teaching team’ approach. Evaluation of the placements of two groups of students across a series of outcome measures (one group in SLC and another group placed within a range of settings, suggests that there were tangible benefi ts to students from the ‘teaching team’ approach in terms of their professional development that could be replicated elsewhere.
