It has been six years since the introduction of the social work degree required students to spend more time on assessed Practice Learning Opportunities. The National Occupational Standards are currently undergoing a change. It is an opportune time for practice assessors to come together to reflect on the past six years of supporting social work students through their Practice Learning Opportunities, and to consider the impact the changes to the National Occupational Standards will have on the future of practice assessing. The keynote speech will be provided by Professor Charlotte Williams OBE.
