This webinar looks at the theoretical and research-based knowledge & tools linked to critical reflection, and their application in practice.
In social work with children and families, the importance of the capacity for practitioners to exercise critical analysis and reflection is widely recognised. This is about managing complex casework, and therefore improving the quality of their assessments and decision making.
If this is true generally in our field, it is particularly so in this current period of crisis. DfE guidance recognises that social workers are working in circumstances where established practice and processes must be adapted to, for example, a context when face to face contact with families is limited.
This webinar looks at the theoretical and research-based knowledge and tools associated with critical reflection and attempts to apply these ideas to the current challenging context of practice.
Practitioners will be able to:
• Explore the implications of the crisis on social work
practice, and the delivery of services to children and their families;
• Recognise the role that reflective and critical thinking plays in producing high quality assessments and purposeful plans in such a context;
• Understand the systemic processes that promote or impede reflection in practice;
• Explore a range of conceptual models that underpin reflective practice;
• Discuss the relationship between critical reflection, emotional intelligence and relationship building;
• Look at the links between reflective analytical thinking and anti-oppressive practice; practice.
• Identify helpful research-based resources for practice.
