Identify and develop the key social work skills

Reference no: EM132619105

Purpose: This assessment aims to help students to identify and develop the key social work skills necessary for conducting social work assessments and interventions with families.

This 2000-word case study report requires students to prepare an initial assessment of a given case study family; outline a plan for work with the family; and provide a reflective account of their own reactions, values and issues relevant to the situation presented.

In this report, students will:
-Prepare an initial assessment report, which will include sub-headings
-Outline their plan for work with the family, including a justification of the choice of intervention based on their assessment / evidence
-Provide a reflective account of their own reactions, values and issues related to the situation presented.
Social work practice with families is partly informed by a worker's personal experience (their personal values and ethics), professional values and ethics, the context of practice, their role in their agency, perspectives, theories, approaches, models and strategies of family work as well as the needs and expectations of families. This assessment asks the student to develop an example of a social worker's work with a family that demonstrates their understanding of the connections and interrelationships between these varying influences.
Your report needs to include:
-A description of the family, their stated and perceived needs and current circumstances. This can be included as an appendix if needed.
-Conceptualisation of the family's situation using the theory/theories or models of your choice, that you see as relevant to understanding the family's situation and needs. Ensure you provide a rationale for the use of these theories/models, and their potential strengths and limitations for use with this family.
-Presentation of how your developing personal practice framework informs your work with the family that you are discussing in this assessment. This needs to include an articulation of your personal values and experiences that influence how you engage the self in practice (think about the being, knowing and doing framework - see Lefevre et al, 2008 for the framework).
A minimum of 7 references *(APA 6th edition) is required for this assignment. These references should include unit readings to demonstrate your understanding of key theoretical approaches and practice concepts covered in this unit.
