Practice Learning Opportunities
• The PLO must meet the Department of Health
requirements for social work training i.e. it must
provide sufficient opportunity for the student to
demonstrate that they have met the National
Occupational Standards for Social Work.
•
All students must have experience of social work
tasks which involve legal interventions but these
can be met in a range of organisations, not just
statutory ones. A ‘statutory’ task is one which a
social worker must or has the power to do as a
result of legislation.
PLO continued

other, i.e. must be with a substantially different

different setting from the one in which the
student is usually employed.

supervision with their PA or WS every week
• At least 4 Direct Observations (2 before mid point
