This Integrative Practice Study is the assessable assignment for the Elective
Module. The purpose of this assignment is to assess student's critical evaluation
of their own practice rather than the quality of practice itself.
It should describe and analyse the student's intervention in the piece of work
presented in the assignment with an individual, or a family, or a group, or
a community.
It should address the following issues specific to the piece of work being
presented:
Core knowledge, values and skills drawing on learning from the Elective
Module.
Organisational issues drawing on learning from the Elective Module.
Material specific to service users in the work undertaken - analysis and
application of practice in relation to legal requirements, the social policy
context, analysis of "need", discriminatory issues etc.
The appropriateness of different models of intervention.
Analysis of the roles that the student has adopted in practice and the
impact of these on service users.
Issues of inter-professional collaboration in the work undertaken.
The student's own learning and use of supervision - for example - understanding
of and participation in decision making processes.
Students must discuss issues related to values, including their own, in
the work undertaken. Students must provide evidence of having addressed issues
of anti-discriminatory and anti-racist practice, where appropriate to the
work undertaken and/or the organisational context. Students should explain
the rationale for any decision not to address issues of anti-racist practice.
Please note that, for assessment purposes, the body of the text must incorporate
all the substantive material necessary to provide an answer for this task. Appendices
