Work Place Learning

Produce a case study incorporating critical reflection which provides evidence of their professional development through the placement. The case study should demonstrate how they have built on their learning across a range of domains of the PCF (and thereby the SOPS) at the appropriate level.

Address all 9 domains they should concentrate on 2 or 3 to demonstrate their learning and identify their future needs.

The case study should be written in the first person. It must be supported by reference to key articles and research, cited in the correct format in a reference list (this is not included in the 4000/2500 words).

Make reference to the 9 domains, giving specific examples and cross referencing using the format (PCF1, PCF2 etc.).

Demonstrate how their practice has adhered to the SWE Standards of Proficiency and the Guidance on Conduct and Ethics for SSWAs.

Address the following areas in their critical reflection:

• What are your areas of strengths, and the areas where you feel you need to develop more skills?

• How have you applied theory to practice and what methods and models have you used to inform your interventions?

• Reflect on what you did well, what you might do differently in future, what you learned about yourself, the service user group, the team/organisation, etc.

• Reflect on the feedback from service users and carers and on the implications of this feedback for your practice – think critically about how this feedback aids your learning and about how it might help you think about your practice

• Show how you have reflected on social work professional values and ethics including ethical dilemmas
