The changing contexts of social work and the requirement for integrated working are regular reminders of the need for social work students to develop collaborative competence and interprofessional working. This suggests that aspects of interprofessional education are relevant to the teaching and development of social work students if graduates are to successfully engage in complex practice. This paper identifies the competencies needed for successful collaboration, before examining evaluative research of joint training programmes in learning disability nursing and social work in England. It highlights the unique experiences and perspectives of graduates whose social work training was exceptionally interprofessional. The paper discusses lessons for promoting collaborative competence in singly trained social work students. In conclusion, the author argues that interprofessional learning opportunities are a key ingredient for the development of critical practice.
