This module is a supervised period of 30 days in at least one practice setting in which students must meet the following National Occupational Standards (CCW, 2011). Key Role 1-NOS 1 Performance indicator 1- Establish your own strategy for maintaining an up to date knowledge and evidence base for social work practice; NOS 2: Develop social work practice through supervision and reflection; P1 Seek professional supervision to develop accountable social work practice;P2 Prepare for formal professional supervision in ways that will maximise its effectiveness;P4 Use feedback from supervision and other sources to inform reflection on and evaluation of your social work practice;P5 Reflect on the cultural context in which you practice and how this impacts upon your work;P6 Reflect on your own values, beliefs and assumptions and how they impact on your social work practice;P7 Integrate learning within practice Key Role 2: Practise Professional Social Work- P1 Work within the context of your own organisation; P2 Establish the parameters of your own work role and how the responsibilities of others link with these; P3 Ensure your understanding of processes in which you may be involved; NOS 5: Manage ethical issues, dilemmas and conflicts; P1 Recognise ethical issues, dilemmas and conflicts that arise in the course of social work practice; P2 Review sources of information and knowledge that can inform professional judgements about ethical issues, dilemmas and conflicts; P3 Reflect on how your own values and experiences may impact on managing ethical issues, dilemmas and conflicts. Key Role 3: Promote engagement and participation- NOS 9: Engage people in social work practice; P1 Plan how to use communication to secure initial engagement; P2 Use communication skills to establish the social work relationship; P3 Support people to find effective ways to communicate their views, needs and preferences. Following the placement the student must have demonstrated that they have the basic interpersonal skills and values that are required for them to be considered suitable and safe to work directly with citizens in need of care and support, and carers; and that they have acquired an understanding, directly from citizens in need of care and support, of the impact of social work practice on them. The module also aims to prepare the students for the academic work which they complete on placement, which is a reflective commentary. Students will also develop a better understanding of their learning needs before going out on placement and have a clear understanding of what the expectations are. They will also have opportunity to work through ways of dealing with any problems or difficulties which may arise.
