Assessment - Self-Reflection
Assessment: Self-Reflection is the second part of the two-part assessment. This essay assignment requires students to write a 1200-word self-reflection of the role play interview you completed in Assessment 1A. You should critically examine the social work skills you demonstrated during the interview and connect them to relevant practice theory.
Your self-reflection should address the following:
Skills identification - Clearly identify and describe the specific social work skills you used during the interview, such as active listening, empathy, questioning techniques, and rapport-building.
Theoretical application - Discuss the practice theory underpinning your interview approach, explain why you selected it, and how it informed your engagement with the client.
Strengths and limitations - Critically appraise what worked well and where improvements could be made, demonstrating honest self-awareness and professional insight.
Ethical awareness - Reflect on ethical considerations relevant to your practice, including confidentiality, role boundaries, and professional conduct. You may also consider broader ethics and responsibility principles where relevant to professional practice.
Evidence-based reflection - Support your observations with contemporary references and research literature to demonstrate engagement with the broader evidence base.
Your essay should be well-structured, written professionally, and referenced using the required citation style with a wide range of contemporary sources.
