| description | The international literature identifies both a shortage of fieldwork placements and meaningful workplace experiences for social work students in developed countries. This exploratory constructivist-interpretative study examines the often overlooked management role and factors that influence responses to requests from schools of social work.

The qualitative findings confirm the importance of organisational, cultural and informational factors in fostering safe management decisions. |
