The aim of this unit is for students to build on the theoretical and skills based learning of the first year and further develop their understanding of and competence in the professional social work role. Students will complete their second placement in a social work agency. Students will undertake social work tasks which enable them to learn about, practise and demonstrate competence in the six core DipSW competences while integrating the values requirements. They will continue to develop the ability to reflect on and analyse their own practice and to identify future learning needs.
