The PEdDS (Professional Education and Disability Support) project explored the experiences of disabled students in placements in order to inform and produce best practice guidance in this area. Social work was chosen as the key discipline to investigate as it has had a long association with anti-discriminatory and inclusive practices. The aims of the PEdDS research were: to explore the barriers and opportunities for disabled social work students on placement; and to gather examples of good practice through the views, perspectives and experiences of disabled social work students and staff about supporting disabled students on placement.
