Social Work Practice Placements
Critical and Reflective Approaches
- Sue Jones - Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester, UK
Social Work Theory and Practice
This book will help to develop student's critical thinking, analytic and reflective skills as they progress through their two placements. It will help them build a successful practice portfolio and understand exactly how they fit into the myriad of other professionals and services that make up day to day reality of practice. Crucially, this book will also feature a chapter on developing these skills into the workplace. Uniquely, it argues that becoming a competent and thriving social worker is dependent on success in the placement.
Used this book in a readiness to practice module with BSc students to prepare them for their first placement. Really useful information. Hints and tips for making their placement a success, easy to read and navigate . A great practical text. Highly recommend.
This text provides students with all the information and advice required for success on placement
Excellent resource for students planning for and undertaking their practice placements.
An interesting book as an introduction. Very basic although would give our first year undergraduates a good introduction to some of the basic issues in social work.
This book is really useful in supporting and guiding through the reflective process.
