This guide was developed as part of the PEdDS [Professional Education and Disability Support] Project, undertaken by the Faculty of Health and Social Care and Disability Services at the University of Hull. The project aimed to explore, assess and deliver learning support to disabled social work students undertaking professional education in the practice placement environment. The evidence in this guide is based upon a series of interviews with disabled social work students, academic staff [including placement co-ordinators from social work programmes], practice assessors/teachers and university disability support staff. The research focused on the needs of, and responses to, students with unseen disabilities and therefore addressed questions of disclosure and confidentiality as well as identifying what made for positive placement experiences.
