| Learning Outcome: |
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:- Discuss the humanistic values and ethical codes of social work and to identify the value conflicts inherent in the social and organisational contexts of social work practice. This should help participants to better enable students to develop their own clearly articulated value base.
- Discuss some of the major theoretical perspectives which have influenced social work practice.
- Engage in a process of reflection on the ongoing influences on their own practice so that practice teachers can help their students to become conscious of their values, knowledge and skills as well as the requirements and constraints of societal and agency environments.
- Engage in discussion about how students can best be supported, whilst on placement, to begin to develop a framework of their own for thinking and acting in practice, which has clarity, ethical, sustainability and everyday workability.
