Introductory level studies in social work and social planning

Bachelor of Social Work

This topic is designed to introduce students to practice wherein they apply knowledge, an ethical framework, and skills they need to engage effectively with individuals, families, groups organisations, and communities in their first field placement. Students will develop an understanding of 'core conditions' of the helping relationship, the fields and organisational contexts of the social work. Using several case scenarios, they will practice 'tuning in', active listening skills, verbal and non-verbal communication, and the initial phases of interviewing.

This topic aims to:

introduce students to the knowledge and skills needed to relate effectively with individuals, families, groups, organisations, and communities
develop students' understanding of fields and organisational contexts of social work and professional practice within these contexts
identify different phases of social work intervention
introduce a basic ethical and professional framework of practice

On successful completion of this topic it is expected that students will be able to:

initiate, develop and sustain relationships with individuals, families, groups, organisations and communities
identify, assess and respond to risk, diversity, rights and responsibility
explore and identify the objective and subjective dimensions of issues, needs, resources and concerns
establish a process to observe, analyse, synthesise assessment data contract, set goals and monitor service arrangements
implement the appropriate and negotiated intervention strategies
end the planned change process
take responsibility for professional practice
