Spolander, Gary; Pullen-Sansfacon, Annie; Brown, Marion; Engelbrecht, Lambert

Abstract

Globalized labour mobility has led to questions regarding the degree to which social work education in one country can be applicable to practice in another. This paper examines social work education programmes and practice contexts in South Africa, England and Canada as examples through which to examine this question.
