Funded by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), Scottish Care in partnership with the Scottish Social Services Learning Network South East, arranged that nine private sector care homes in Edinburgh, Lothians and the Scottish Borders areas would offer a practice learning opportunity (placement) to a social work student. Scottish Care worked through the Private Care Sector Workforce Initiative for its part of this pilot project. This project was perceived in part as a means to engage in some of the issues regarding the place of social work in care homes and to open a dialogue between care homes, social work educators, local authority social work services, the SSSC and the Scottish Government. A key aspect of this project was to develop capacity in the care home sector and to consider issues of sustainability in the provision of practice learning opportunities in care homes. The care homes in the pilot mostly provide care to older people but some units are specialist dementia units and one caters for people with brain injuries. All the students were from the University of Edinburgh and most were on the BSc programme. All the placements were first placements for the students and lasted 68 days, from early March to early June 2009. The project was considered a success on various levels by all those who took part. The care homes, the practice teachers and the university are all willing to engage in similar work again. This report considers the outputs and outcomes of the project in relation to the project objectives which were to: provide practice learning opportunities in care homes for up to ten social work students on a degree programme between August 2008 and March 2009, provide link supervisors in the care homes to support the students on placement, provide practice teaching support to each social work student on placement, provide link supervisor training to the link supervisors which will articulate into the PLQ at SCQF Level 9, prospectively provide PLQ Level 9 for those who wish it from the group of link supervisors, provide placements which offer a learning experience blended between the care home and a local social or health service provider, develop a detailed mapping profile between the learning activities in the placement setting and the Standards in Social Work Education, develop a usable and sustainable model of practice learning in care homes through creating capacity to offer learning opportunities, and promote greater availability of practice learning opportunities for social work students in Scotland.

The Scottish Executive has promised free personal care for people with long term needs - both young and old. Asks if this will lead to an invasion of English people hoping to obtain services free of charge.
