This article describes how the Education, Training and Development arm of one social services agency has responded to the twin imperatives of quality assurance and continuing professional development in relation to practice teaching. The framework which has been developed to meet the requirements of both imperatives is discussed. The model’s transferability to other spheres where social work education and training and practice development can converge is identified.
