This unit is intended to provide students with the opportunity to develop and extend their practice through examining and reflecting on the social work role in a multi-disciplinary context. Recent changes introduced as a result of the government&)s Every Child Matters programme have led to new organisational structures for child care social work, and new opportunities and challenges connected with the aspiration of greater inter-disciplinary co-operation. However, the work context of individual practitioners will vary, and in order to complete this unit effectively, each student will be required to undertake a programme of independent study linked to their own specialist context, and under the supervision of an academic tutor. A significant element of this independent study will be focused on the production of a reflective project (see Methods of Assessment).
