Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Social work training has become competence-based and competence-led as a result of CCETSW's Paper 30 in 1989 (and its subsequent amendments). Many students and practice teachers, however, have experienced difficulty in identifying evidence of competence for inclusion in practice portfolios. The contributors to this practical volume demonstrate how competence is best illustrated through detailed presentation of practice.
Making a major advance in social work training, this book illustrates social work competences by describing genuine cases, real people and real contexts, while all identifying features have been changed to preserve confidentiality. It will greatly assist in the implementation of new requirements for the Diploma in Social Work. Each chapter identifies the core competences most pertinent to the case in question and core themes and principles which emerge in demonstrating competence.
