This subject aims to continue students’ process of self-exploration and theory/practice integration, enabling them to progress a knowledge of self from Professional Identity 1 into a knowledge of professional self in multiple social work contexts. Students will draw on their previous course work, field education placements and emerging e-portfolio to create and curate a consolidated personal Professional Identity Framework. They will use this framework to articulate their professional social work identity across academic and multiple workplace settings.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of the subject, students should be able to:
Knowledge
- Identify and describe the elements of social work practice and frameworks for illustrating social work professional identity

Skills
- Collate and interpret a personal narrative of competence in social work practice using artifacts and professional identity frameworks
- Compare and critique organisational and systemic contexts of social work practice.
