Assessing student social workers suitability: university procedures compared

Currer, C. (2009) Assessing student social workers' professional suitability: comparing university procedures in England. British Journal of Social Work, 39(8), pp. 1481-1498. Currer compares procedures in English Universities and finds that social work educators, in their role as gatekeepers to entering the profession, vary in their processes for determining fitness of students to practice, and concludes that greater guidance from the General Social Care Council is required.
