SOAD4007 Field Education 2

Building upon the first field education topic, this topic provides students with the opportunity to further integrate classroom learning with professional practice while developing their professional identity, integrity and emerging practice frameworks. Students will be encouraged to develop their capacity to be autonomous and deal with greater complexity in their application of social work knowledge and practice skills. Students will also be supported to advance their understanding of the social work role and of themselves as professionals.

This topic aims to provide students with further experience of social work practice in order to develop their social work knowledge, skills and understanding, and ensure that that they are ready for practice in social work or a related field.:

1. Explain the role and purpose of social work
2. Articulate and apply key social work knowledge and skills in working independently
3. Engage with and discuss the value base of social work in a practice context
4. Discuss their social work identity and emerging practice framework
5. Work autonomously and professionally at a ‘beginning practitioner’ level
