Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 8, vol. 39 (December 2009) . - pp. 1481-1498 Titre : Assessing Student Social Workers' Professional Suitability : Comparing University Procedures in England Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Caroline Currer, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 1481-1498 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Formation professionnelle # Pratique professionnelle # Travail social Mots-clés : Angleterre Résumé : "Universities providing social work education and training must ensure that those who qualify as social workers are ‘suitable’ or ‘fit for practice’—a gate-keeping role that has been discussed in a number of different national settings. In England, the introduction of registration for both qualified and student social workers has brought assessment of standards of professional conduct to the fore. For qualified workers, there is a single national ‘conduct procedure’ involving a public panel hearing. In relation to student social workers, procedures are particular to each university, albeit subject to scrutiny by the professional body, which has, to date, offered little guidance. This paper reports on a study comparing procedures in different universities. These were found to vary in relation to a number of factors, such as whether professional suitability is an academic or disciplinary matter; the name of the procedure and rationale; its focus and scope; the personnel involved and possible outcomes. The paper concludes that such variation is in the interests of neither students nor the profession, and that the professional body might helpfully offer more guidance to universities, as well as being specific about their own role in relation to aspects of registration."
