Field Education: Creating Successful Placements introduces students to the experiences of those involved in social work field education placements in a variety of settings, including rural and international placements. The book identifies key processes and frameworks and how these can be used in practice. Understanding what makes a successful placement is critical to informing the planning, development and ongoing coordination of field education, and by extension ensuring that social work graduates have high quality learning experiences. Field Education: Creating Successful Placements looks at what makes a successful placement from four different perspectives - lecturer, field educator, laision person and student - helping to better prepare students for the rigours of social work and human services work. It encourages integrating theory with practice and provides an insight into the diverse organisations and practitioners involved in Field Education.

From the Margins to the Mainstream: The Domestic Violence Services Movement in Victoria, Australia, 1974-2016

In the aftermath of the 2015 Victorian royal commission, billions of dollars of government funds have been committed to improving responses to women and children experiencing domestic violence. Such attention was unimaginable forty years ago when feminists in Victoria and across Australia first established women's refuges. At that time, domestic violence was not publicly acknowledged or tackled in any coherent way at a Commonwealth or state government policy level. While services that provided accommodation to women and children in crisis had certainly existed for a long time, the refuge movement of the 1970s made explicit the link between domestic violence and the need for refuge, framing domestic violence as a manifestation of gender inequality and an imbalance of power between men and women. This book illuminates how the women's domestic violence services movement in Victoria emerged, how members organised amidst diversity and worked towards achieving their goals, made sense of their experiences and dealt with the obstacles they encountered while undertaking action to create significant change for women.
