How do you tell a seven-year-old she’s going to live with another family? How do you build trust with a teenage boy who keeps running away from home? How do you support a 40-year-old woman with schizophrenia? As a social worker, you’ll often be in complex and challenging situations but you’ll help to improve lives and bring about social change through working in partnership with individuals, families and communities. Working within health and social care teams, and with partner agencies, from police to housing services, you will help to promote human rights and social justice. It can be difficult to appreciate the difference social workers make until you’ve experienced social work practice in action – and that’s why you’ll complete placements in your second and third years. Some of the topics you’ll explore include how to communicate with service users and carers, theories to inform practice and the factors that influence our journeys from pre-birth through to death. Social work can be difficult and challenging at times and, as well as developing your academic knowledge and practice skills, we aim to develop your resilience and help you learn ways to manage the situations you’re faced with. **Features and Benefits** - **Approved course** - Our course is approved by Social Work England and, when you graduate, you are eligible to apply for professional registration with Social Work England. - **Employability** - As you graduate, you’ll have the skills you need to practice as a newly qualified social worker across all ages and service user groups. - **Placement experience** - You’ll go on a 70-day placement in year two and a 100-day placement in year three. - **Specialise your studies** - You can focus on a chosen pathway of social work practice in your final year. **Please note that we are not able to accept applications for advanced entry for this course.**
