This week we explored the Code of Ethics and Core Values in working practice. We delved into the idea of evidence based practice for assessing and managing clients. We explored core concepts when working in Social Work such as Task Centred, Trauma Informed, Strengths Based, Lifespan Development and Behavioural Change.
Evidence Based Practice is using already established techniques, models and methods which have been appropriately researched and verified as a way of working with clients. These are typically used in Nursing, Education, Mental Health and Social Work.
The reason for using a particular practice should be backed by previous studies and success stories in that context as opposed to a practitioner using an unrecognised form of practice that may not be best suited for that client.
In Academic foundations we developed our understanding on Critical Thinking and it’s importance when evaluating sources and there bias, in understanding arguments.
