The NISCC Rules for the Approval of the Degree in Social Work (2003) set out the requirements which Universities must meet in order to gain approval to deliver the degree in social work. The rules include a requirement that all programmes have in place procedures for termination of training. This is in order to protect the interests of service users and carers as well as students’ interests, and to ensure that students deemed unsuitable to practice as social workers are prevented from being awarded a degree in social work. Similarly the interests of those providing work based practice learning experience should also be safeguarded. Becoming a professional social worker requires more than the acquisition of knowledge and skills. In Northern Ireland students completing a professional course in social work must complete two periods of work based practice learning. Each student is assigned a practice teacher who assesses his/her practice in terms of competent and confident practice. Level two undergraduate programme students complete 85 practice learning days between August and December. Level 2 relevant graduate route students complete 85 days between January and May. Both undergraduate and relevant graduate level three students complete 100 practice learning days between January and June. The periods of practice learning for part –time students will normally be from August to April for level two and August to late May for level 3 students. Practice learning opportunities (PLO) are provided by a range of statutory, voluntary and independent agencies that are designated as practice learning providers (DPLP) by the Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC). These opportunities are across a wide range of service user groups, e.g. older people, children and families, and a variety of work settings e.g. residential, day-care, hospital and community. They are also geographically located across Northern Ireland. Practice Learning Opportunities are allocated through the Northern Ireland Degree in Social Work Partnership (NIDSWP).The NIDSWP was established under the Rules for the Approval of the Degree in Social Work (2003). It is an unincorporated association of education institutions and employing agencies – statutory and voluntary which builds on the long established collaborative working partnerships within qualifying social work education and training in Northern Ireland. The current Partnership membership includes the five Health and Social Care Trusts, QUB, UU/FHE, the Voluntary sector, the Probation Board for NI(PBNI),Youth Justice Agency for NI (YJANI) and Education Welfare. Context of Protocol This protocol is the outcome of an evolving process which initially began with the introduction of the degree in social work. It has been developed in agreement with all of the partnership member organisations. The protocol governs the management of individual practice learning opportunities where difficulties arise and may result in withdrawal from or termination of the PLO. In addition the Higher Education Institutions’ (HEIs) separate fitness for practice procedures may result in a student being withdrawn from the degree in social work course. The NISCC at any stage may review a student’s registration as a social work student/social care worker and apply sanctions to the individual’s registration. This protocol is separate from the procedures in place within NISCC and the HEIs but there is a clear requirement for these separate processes to be considered for each individual situation. The overarching aim of this protocol is to promote consistency in approach across the region, for the myriad of people involved in the delivery of practice learning opportunities. The purpose of the protocol is also:

tutors and others involved in the provision of practice learning
be used in dealing with practice learning issues. These could include HEI fitness to practice procedures and/or NISCC conduct procedures
The Northern Ireland Social Care Council (NISCC) Practice Learning Requirements for the Degree in Social Work (Revised 2010) state that ‘Practice Learning must promote student learning while safeguarding the rights of service users’.
There exists a range of factors that may impinge on the progress of a student’s practice learning. Some of these may impede the student’s professional development whilst others may affect the student’s continued involvement in the degree in social work course. This protocol aims to provide direction as to the process to be followed when dealing with one or more factors impacting on the progression of practice learning. The protocol does not aim to cover every eventuality however its underpinning principles should be followed in every situation where there are issues. These include situations where:
In all such situations the following key principles should underpin the decision–making process:
