20 cp
Prerequisites SWTP310 Social Work Field Placement 1, SWTP400 Public Policy for Social Workers, SWTP401 Social Work Practice with Communities and SWTP411 Social Work Practice with Individuals and Groups 2
Teaching Organisation Seminars and field practice.

This unit extends the students learning from their first social work field placement. The unit is divided into two modules; a University based integrative practice seminar program and a supervised field placement (500 hours in total). The seminars will support the students field based learning by facilitating discussion of the field based learning process. The seminars will also explore the nature of non-oppressive social work practice, with emphasis given to students reflecting on how different vulnerable populations experience service delivery for example people with disability and people living in rural and remote communities. The supervised field placement will provide students with the opportunity to further extend their knowledge and skills in direct or/and indirect practice in a range of agency, organisational and community settings. By the end of the second field placement it is expected that students will be able to work in both direct and indirect practice contexts with the autonomy and competence that is expected of a new graduate.
