ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the primary stakeholders and their inextricable links to each other in the delivery of field education. Each stakeholder role is explored in terms of how they relate to each other for student learning and assessment in the field. The centrality of the field education team in this stakeholder system is considered. Many of the current opportunities and challenges in contemporary social work field education are understood practically in terms of the primacy of the relationships. This examination enables opportunities for current field education processes to be challenged and possibilities for change and innovation.
