Description	This module will build on learning undertaken in the Social Work Skills, Values and Approaches module and it will explore how concepts of empowerment, partnership and anti-oppressive practice provide a critical framework from which to engage with the values, theories, methods and skills that underpin social work practice. There will be a particular focus on incorporating and learning from the perspectives of service users and carers in undertaking processes of assessment and in the planning and delivery of social work support and intervention.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Apply concepts of power and an understanding of social work values in developing a critical approach to social work practice Integrate a range of relevant theoretical perspectives within approaches to assessment, intervention and support Select and evaluate methods of social work intervention that would be appropriate to particular situations faced by service users and carers Critically reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of particular approaches to social work assessment and practice, and relate these to personal experience, research evidence, social work values and the experience of service users and carers
