Practice Framework Report

Learning Outcome 1: Demonstrate critical awareness of the ethical principles informing practice within your chosen discipline.
Learning Outcome 2: Appraise practice frameworks relevant to field placement in a discipline-based setting.

A practice framework provides up-to-date direction on the various skills, attributes, standards, and responsibilities that guides the practice of health professional and allows practitioners to respond to emerging issues in a clear, professional, and consistent manner.

In each field of practice, be it Public Health, Health Promotion, Rehabilitation Counselling, or Health Wellbeing and Performance various practice frameworks are used by practitioners. The type of framework used could be based on:
• population group (e.g., people with disabilities, culturally and linguistically diverse groups, and Indigenous communities),
• health issue (e.g., mental health, disability, alcohol and drug use, gender-based violence, and aged care),
• locale or setting (e.g., special needs school, prisons, and country and regional areas)
• ethical considerations (including code of conduct) that underpin the professional practice within your specific discipline

Choose one practice and one ethics related framework or guidelines from the lists below. If you would like to choose a framework not on the lists, please discuss with your facilitator. You can use international, national, regional, and local frameworks (again, check with your facilitator that they are suitable).

Refer to the resources in the Weekly topics on Ethics, Ethical Practice and You and Using Practice Frameworks to Guide your Work.

Task
1. Identify and briefly describe key concepts, principles, values, and practices contained in each framework.

2. Critique the strengths and weaknesses in each of the two frameworks. (You will need to explore or ‘unpack' the strengths and weaknesses vis-à-vis the value or principle in your discipline, e.g., participation, empowerment, equity, client voice, resilience, motivation. Support your critique using appropriate evidence.).

3. Discuss the practical benefits and limitations of applying the framework (e.g., can it be applied in all settings, for all communities, etc.) at your prospective placement site such as a community health centre, disability agency, local council, or not-for-profit organisation.
Note: Analysis and suggestions need to be supported by evidence throughout the report.

*Task 2: The following are items for you to consider when critiquing the strengths and weaknesses of the frameworks. Select two-to-three on which to focus.
