Abstract
The current environment in which social work takes place stresses the need for competent service delivery, incorporating consumer and professional accountability. Enhancing selection procedures for social work education is central to achieving greater competency in social work overall.
This paper examines the way in which students are selected for social work training in New Zealand. It includes discussion on the current methods used for selection of students and concludes by suggesting ways in which the selection process may be improved.
