Content Summary
This module is concerned with critical reflection on skills and applying knowledge from other modules to the development of a rounded social work identity. It builds on the Foundations of Reflective and Applied Practice module in Year 1, and develops a specific focus on the areas of assessment, service provision and the application of knowledge, skills and values in Social Work practice.
