ABSTRACT
In the practice tutorial, students should be encouraged to explore their views about the nature and form of social work practice in their own country Students should identify those aspects of social work that reflect good practice and which could be used as models to develop practice in 'Gangnidborb'. Encourage the students to consider whether their views about good practice in their own country have been influenced by considering the development of social work practice in another country. The student needs to consider ways in which social work might, and does, differ across national boundaries, and possible reasons for those differences. In the US, for example, there is a significant number of social workers who practise as private practitioners, offering their services to clients for direct payment. Social work is one of many human service or helping professions that we might expect to find in a developed or developing society.
