Module Aims
The aim of this module is to enable social workers to critically analyse and reflect on the knowledge and skills required to assess and supervise social work students.
Content Summary
The module will enable qualified social workers to analyze and evaluate their ability to assess, supervise and practice educate social work students. They will reflect on the principles and values of social work to enhance the development of students. They will be taught to assess and supervise social work students utilizing a variety of professional approaches with reference to current research. They will be observed by a qualified Practice Supervisor on two occasions while supervising a social work student. They will demonstrate their ability to integrate anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice throughout the supervision and assessment of social work students. Knowledge and understanding of adult learning and the use of theory in practice will be taught and analyzed throughout the module. Evidence of the Code of Professional Practice and National Occupational Standards prescribed by Social Care Wales will be integrated throughout the practice education, assessment and supervision of social work students. The skills and knowledge gained will be transferable into more diverse social work and social care settings. The perspectives of individuals, families and carers will be incorporated by the candidate.
