ASQ103 Undertaking and Using Social Work Research for Practice

This module will provide students with an introduction to the gathering and use of information in social care services and will provide an introduction to qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research approaches in social work. This module will provide an introduction to quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research and evaluation methodologies used to gather and assess knowledge in and for social care services. It will address the different sources, methods and purposes of information gathering. The module will also consider the application and implications of modern information communication technologies to the practice, planning and management of social work.
ASQ106 Social Work in Practice 1

The nature and characteristics of social work are the subject of much debate and scrutiny with demands for ever increasing levels of skill, knowledge and accountability. At an introductory level, this module will consider the core skills required for effective contemporary social work practice within a complex world. This includes communication and interpersonal skills both at individual level and within groups concerning the ways in which needs are expressed and attributed to service users and their carers and the ways in which these are defined and recorded. Students will also be introduced to methods and models of assessment within different practice contexts, personal safety in social work and the importance of being critically reflexive in practice.
ASQ201 Theories and Perspectives in Social Work

The module provides the basis for understanding social work theories and perspectives for informing contemporary social work practice in a Welsh context. The module critically considers the concepts and explanations of social work theories and psychosocial perspectives from other disciplines that contribute to the social work knowledge base and its application to ethically-minded practice with service users and carers. Particular attention will be given to methods of case-work, group work, community work, and psycho-social work. Emphasis will be placed on practice in the Welsh context and the translation of theoretical perspectives to methods and tools in practice.
ASQ201W Damcaniaethau a Safbwyntiau mewn Gwaith Cymdeithasol

Mae¿r modiwl yn darparu¿r sylfaen ar gyfer deall damcaniaethau a safbwyntiau gwaith cymdeithasol ar gyfer llywio ymarfer gwaith cymdeithasol cyfoes mewn cyd-destun Cymreig. Ystyria¿r modiwl yn feirniadol y cysyniadau a'r esboniadau o ddamcaniaethau gwaith cymdeithasol a safbwyntiau seicogymdeithasol o ddisgyblaethau eraill sy'n cyfrannu at y sylfaen wybodaeth gwaith cymdeithasol a'i chymhwysiad i ymarfer â meddwl moesegol gyda defnyddwyr gwasanaethau a gofalwyr. Rhoddir sylw arbennig i ddulliau o waith achos, gwaith gr¿p, gwaith cymunedol, a gwaith seico-gymdeithasol. Rhoddir pwyslais ar ymarfer yn y cyd-destun Cymreig a throsi safbwyntiau damcaniaethol i ddulliau ac offer yn ymarferol.
ASQ202 Social Work in Practice 2

This module will build on the assessment skills of collecting, selecting and testing of information learned at Level 1 and introduce further themes. These include the importance of decision making in a variety of settings and the influence that time pressures can exert. Particular attention will be given to this from a Welsh perspective, in an interagency context, including the factors and processes that facilitate service integration, collaboration and partnership when working with other statutory agencies as well as independent and voluntary sector services. The module will also address the nature of both risk and harm that is associated with intervention in the lives of vulnerable individuals and groups. It will include practical exercises in the use of different approaches to assessment.
ASQ202W Gwaith cymdeithasol ar waith 2

Bydd y modiwl hwn yn adeiladu ar sgiliau asesu casglu, dethol a phrofi gwybodaeth a ddysgwyd ar Lefel 1 ac yn cyflwyno themâu pellach. Mae¿r rhain yn cynnwys pwysigrwydd gwneud penderfyniadau mewn amrywiaeth o leoliadau a¿r dylanwad y gall pwysau amser ei gael. Rhoddir sylw arbennig i hyn o safbwynt Cymreig, mewn cyd-destun rhyngasiantaethol, gan gynnwys y ffactorau a'r prosesau sy'n hwyluso integreiddio gwasanaethau, cydweithio a phartneriaeth wrth gydweithio ag asiantaethau statudol eraill yn ogystal â gwasanaethau yn y sector annibynnol a gwirfoddol. Bydd y modiwl hefyd yn mynd i'r afael â natur y risg a'r niwed sy'n gysylltiedig ag ymyrraeth ym mywydau unigolion a grwpiau agored i niwed. Bydd yn cynnwys ymarferion ymarferol yn y defnydd o wahanol ddulliau asesu.
ASQ301 Critical Practice in Child Care

The module draws together aspects of earlier modules that have looked at the law, theory, social work practice and values and applies them to children in particular sets of circumstances. Child protection, `looked after children¿, the Integrated Children¿s System and youth justice will receive particular attention.
SW-M03 Critical Practice in Child Care and Law

The central premise of this module is that for practitioners to undertake critical practice they must first develop `criticality¿; an open stance that enables the practitioner to reflect on the context of practice, their own experiences and values as well as the differing perspectives of others. `Criticality¿ is promoted through, for example, personal reflection, reading, research, discussion, debate and analysis. During the module students are encouraged to critically reflect on a wide range of issues together with staff, visiting practitioners, service users and peers. The order in which topics and issues are introduced is arranged so that students are able to gain an understanding of the wider context of child care practice before working through complex case studies of individual children. Students begin by examining international, national and regional child care issues. They then examine key child care legislation and policy before focusing on safeguarding and, in particular, child protection. Specific topics relating to childhood vulnerability are then considered, for example, `State accommodation¿/adoption of children, `youth justice¿ and `asylum seeking children¿. Special attention is given to preventative social work.
