First Practice Placement

This module provides you with the opportunity to apply and develop your knowledge, skills and values in a practice setting. You will complete 70 days of assessed practice in a social work/care setting where you will be supported by a practice educator. You will be required to demonstrate that you can practice in accordance with the Professional Capabilities Framework for social work. Throughout the placement you will produce coursework in the form of a portfolio, which details your development and includes a final report from your Practice Educator, who will recommend a pass or fail in practice.


Working Together with Service Users and Carers

This module provides the opportunity for you to develop a critical understanding of what it is like to be a service user or carer in today’s society. You’ll participate in interactive sessions with service users, service providers and carers to have the chance to develop your understanding of the issues faced by particular groups. Assessment will be through coursework involving a written reflective account of three of the interactive sessions as well as an essay demonstrating your understanding of assessment, empowerment and communication, discussing how, as a social worker, you would work in partnership with a service user to resolve a fictitious problem.
