Moving on from your placement
Social workers know that endings and transitions can be times of great significance in their practice with service users and carers. Similarly, reaching the end of your placement and moving on to whatever comes next represents an important point in your life as well as in your social work training. In this final chapter we will help you find positive ways of managing the end of your placement. With careful planning, you can use this final phase to consolidate your learning and skills and prepare yourself for the continuation of your training or for the beginning of your social work career.
