You are expected to play an active role in group-based learning and participate in exercises to develop social work skills: A client here may be an individual, family, group, colleague or community member. Fundamental to this subject is the development of a critical awareness of self, including your style as a worker and the impact of this style on others. The key aspects of this subject are group work, with a focus on individuals roles within the group; and casework practice, with an emphasis on exploring your styles in the application of world views and theories to interviewing skills including assessment, intervention plans and case recording. Professional accreditation requires a minimum level of fieldwork practice. Your attendance at tutorials in this subject will contribute to meeting this requirement for professional recognition as a social worker.
