MSWPG7108 Social Work Practice with Groups and Communities - Federation University Australia
Activity - Managing professional communication in multi-agency and multi- professional contexts.
Outline and analyze the process and dynamics of managing professional communication in a multiagency and multi professional context.
In individual, community and organization contexts effective practice means coordinating and managing stakeholders from different agencies and professional contexts. Many of them will have different priorities or foci depending on their professional background, funding and context. Using systems, ecological and political approaches students need to demonstrate understanding and skills in managing these complex situations as they develop strategies for intervention. The dynamics of interagency and interprofessional process can reflect the stressors of the social political context and/or impacts of the stresses of the work. Social workers often have the role of managing, facilitating and coordinating systems, not just providing direct services. Beginning with good problem solving and task focused approaches a social worker will be able to demonstrate the way they can understand and analyze these complex dynamics for developing and coordinating effective interventions.
