Abstract
Abstract The article describes an experiment in North Wales involving a CQSW course sub-contracting the organisation and support of its students' placements to a separate project jointly managed by the college concerned and other local educational institutions and agencies. On the basis of an evaluation of this experience some tentative conclusions are offered about such matters as the utility of jointly managed projects in addressing basic structural deficits in qualifying training currently, such as the shortage of suitable, well-found practice placements, and the extent to which the tutorial role in social work education can be effectively divided into academic and practice related functions. It is suggested that QDSW (if and when it comes) may shortly raise these and other related issues with particular force and urgency and that pertinent lessons already learned in the context of CQSW provision could usefully inform that debate.
