Action Learning in Social Work

First Edition


August 2013 | 176 pages | Learning Matters
Throughout their careers, social work students and practitioners need to demonstrate an understanding of critical and reflective practice. The Professional Capabilities Framework sets out how newly-qualified social workers can achieve this, and become 'critical practitioners' who are able to make decisions in fast-moving situations. This book is a complete guide for those practitioners who wish to engage with action learning as a way of developing critically reflective practice. 

The authors use Action Learning to explore fundamental aspects of good social work including for example person centred and anti-oppressive practice. The notions of social and emotional intelligence and being critically reflective are also explored in the context of action learning. This book is practical, skills-based and essential reading for all social workers who wish to extend their understanding and knowledge.

Useful for people giving feedback to students in training - so I will incorporate ideas in Introduction to Practice Education 4 day course for supervisors of social work students. This course runs approx 3 times per year with 20 - 25 participants each time.
