This module provides a critical overview of different modes of understanding human development and their relevance for social work practice. It examines theories of human growth and development throughout the life cycle, and how, at different points people’s identities are shaped by their social, political, economic and cultural locations. There will be a particular focus on how inequality, adversity and oppression can significantly affect people’s experiences.  

The aim of the module is to enable apprentices to evaluate relevant legal, policy, theoretical and organisational frameworks that inform safeguarding practice and to gain an understanding of the processes of risk assessment with adults, young people, children, and families. It will serve to revise key legal frameworks, and explore some of the central risk factors, as well as learning which has been provided from Serious Case Reviews and Safeguarding Adults Reviews. In so doing, the module aims to prepare apprentices for more complex, risk-based, and specialised work in their work-based settings and to enable reflection on their daily ‘on-the-job’ practice (placement) experiences.

By the completion of this module apprentices will be able to:

1.      Analyse the role of safeguarding in social work practice.

2.      Describe some of the key social issues impacting upon the need to safeguard vulnerable adults and children.

3.      Apply theoretical understanding of safeguarding to case situations using research and reports.

4.      Reflectively appraise the challenges associated with contemporary safeguarding work.

A warm welcome to the Law for Practice module! This period of study will aim to introduce you to key areas of law, used by social workers to enable them to protect vulnerable people and promote independence. 

The aim of this module is not that you learn pieces of law from start to finish! This would be impossible, and not realistic for even a qualified social worker. However, it will aim to encourage awareness of some of the key areas of legislation, and to critically think about how we may apply this law in practice situations.

Not all slides will be released before each lesson as the slides contain the answers to a lot of the questions and discussions we will be having in lesson.  Should you have a learning need and require them before hand please email me in advance of the lesson.
