This course has been updated for 2020 entry to reflect contemporary trends in social work practice, both locally and nationally. Teaching on the degree emphasises the knowledge, skills and values of social work; especially the importance of evidence-informed, person-centred and relationship-based practice. The course incorporates significant involvement of social work practitioners and people who have used social work services. The course also offers opportunities for interprofessional learning as you will complete a module in the final year (Management and Leadership for Social Care Professionals), learning alongside students on other related courses, in preparation for potential future careers in integrated health and social care workplaces. **Key Course Benefits:** * A staff team experienced both academically and in social care work practice. * 170 days of practice learning in two placements. Upon successful completion of the course you will: * Have developed the knowledge, cognitive skills, ethical understanding and interpersonal skills necessary for qualified social work practice. * Be able to recognise and work with service users from a diverse range of backgrounds in ways that balances the need to be sensitive to difference, cultural and otherwise, whilst remaining committed to upholding universal social work values. * Have developed the self-efficacy, autonomy, self-awareness, reflective ability, emotional intelligence and the organisational skills to work as an effective and empathic social worker.

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to: *Apply to the regulator of social workers in England to be placed on the relevant register as a professional social worker. *Practise effectively as a skilled and person-centred professional. *Recognise the impact of injustice, inequality and oppressive social structures and relations on service users’ and carers’ lives. *Demonstrate respect for people and for diverse organisations and communities, promoting social justice and combating processes that lead to oppression, discrimination, marginalisation, inequality and social exclusion. *Utilise skills to help people to gain, regain or maintain control of their own lives, choices and decisions, insofar as this is compatible with their own or others' safety, well-being and rights. *Engage in professional relationships with service users and carers that are characterised by openness, reciprocity, mutual accountability and explicit recognition of the powers of the social worker including statutory intervention. *Analyse how to make and implement difficult decisions (including restrictions on liberty) in situations that involve the potential for harm, including critical reflection on ethical principles and dilemmas. *Evaluate the need to deal with complex, multiple and sometimes contradictory accountabilities (for example, to different service users, carers, employing agencies, professional bodies and the public). *Appraise research evidence and knowledge from a range of sources (including theoretical perspectives and evidence from international contexts) to inform understanding and to underpin action, reflection and evaluation. *Appraise the social, political and economic challenges and demands of contemporary social welfare legislation, policy and practice. *Analyse and work within ongoing contested debates about the nature, scope and purpose of social work.
