The module supports the student to explore the understandings of social work interventions and the interactions of theory, models, methods and interventions. The students will be encouraged to integrate ideas, knowledge and skills from previous modules and practice placement experience to contribute to their developing understanding of assessment, analysis, making judgements and implementing intervention. The module delivery will also emphasise that the module provides the foundations for designing and implementing interactions but that experience, further support and ethical reflection and ongoing CPD etc. is essential for developing effective practice.
