Description of module content:

This module will enable you to apply your learning from Modules 1 and 2 to a practice learning setting, as you supervise a social work student on a practice placement. You will be supported and assessed throughout the placement by a practice assessor. You will take responsibility for the design and delivery of practice learning opportunities, taking account of the student’s specific learning style, needs and stage of study. You will design an induction programme, which will prepare the student for direct work with people receiving services, provide opportunities to learn about specific legislation, policy and guidance as relevant to the setting, observe a range of practitioners and visit other relevant services. You will be responsible for providing weekly one-to-one supervision with the student, and will be observed by the practice assessor in some of these sessions. As part of this process, you will be providing feedback and feedforward to the student, communicating your ongoing assessment of their ability to meet the Standards in Social Work Education (SiSWE) and compliance with the SSSC Codes of Practice, taking account of feedback from people receiving services and other stakeholders. You will need to evidence your ability to support the student’s learning by creating a stimulating learning environment with opportunities for the student to meet all the requirements of the SiSWE, which may include negotiating learning opportunities with other agencies as and when necessary. You must evidence your ability to reflect critically on your application of theory to practice with your practice assessor.
