The document summarizes key findings from a study evaluating the impact of introducing degree-level qualifications for social work in the UK. It discusses changes brought by the new degree, including an increased focus on practice learning. Key findings are that students are placed in a variety of settings, with pressures to find placements; practice assessors find degree students' knowledge and skills similar to prior qualifications; and students report a range of experiences in quality and support across placements. The quality of practice learning experiences and supervision are emphasized as highly influential on students' learning and development.
