This article presents co‐supervision as an effective and efficient model for field education of social work students. In our current climate of scarce resources and with a changing workforce that is increasingly feminised and part‐time, this model provides a framework for efficient resource allocation by sharing the responsibility of field education among more than one social work supervisor. We will describe a model of co‐supervision that we have developed over a period of 6 years. We will be using the findings from our own exploratory study for this model along with practice‐based reflection to support our proposal that co‐supervision is an innovative and beneficial model for field work education of social work students.
