10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation A variety of teaching and learning strategies such as lectures, tutorials, workshops, laboratory classes and self-directed packages may be utilised.

This unit will develop students understanding of the organisational contexts in which their professional practice will take place. Drawing upon the broad body of organisational theory the unit will explore organisational cultures as well as the structures of governance. The nature, processes and impact of organisational change on service delivery and management will be critically analysed. The role of social workers in a range of organisations will be explored with students developing skills in areas such as organisational analysis. Emphasis will also be given to the role of information technology in structuring contemporary social service work. Students will be encouraged to draw on their experiences of working in organisations, in particular the agencies in which they have undertaken their field placement.
