Construct a Trauma Loss List of your own (be aware of your own wellbeing and sense of safety while you are doing this). NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable constructing your own T/L List, you may choose a fictional character from a book, movie, tv show, etc. and construct their T/L List.
Immediately after this exercise, practice the Safe Place exercise from Part A for yourself. You may choose additional grounding and centering exercises if you wish (Body Scan, Triangle Breathing, or other grounding exercises listed in the readings).

Discuss how this experience went for you. NOTE: You do NOT need to share your T/L List, please just share what this experience was like for you.
Discuss how likely you are to use this assessment in your SW practice?
On a scale of 0 to 10, how comfortable are you with constructing a trauma loss list with a client?
If you aren’t at a 10, what would help you increase your comfort level 1 or 2 levels?
Make a plan to install these things into your practice.

What are the primary goals of this stage of treatment? What specific rules/expectations/agreements might you need to establish with the client to help to ensure safety during and/or between sessions? How come?

Social work assignment critically examine an international model of social work practice.

2,000-word essay where you are asked to critically examine an international model of social work practice. You must compare and contrast with UK and another country of your choice throughout your assignment about the topic you have chosen. E.g. Mental health.

  • The focus is on an international perspective.
  • You can choose any country.
  • We hope to include contributions from some of our European partners at some stage in the teaching for you to ask direct questions but your not restricted to these

This task carries 70% of your final module grade. (LO4)(LO2)(LO3)

LO4 asks you to consider a range of international approaches. By ‘range’ I would suggest given the word count, you consider two to three if possible. It is likely that whatever area of practice you consider more than one model would be used.

  • I think it likely you will also comfortably consider Learning outcomes 2 and 3 as well.

The area of practice  you select and  how you devise assignment is up to you. It  can be drawn from any aspect of social work, but it will need to be sufficiently focused to justify an investigation.

  • It is up to you to choose an area that you are interested in

Some examples

  • Working with young people with eating disorders
  • Safeguarding vulnerable adults
  • Child Protection
  • Fostering and adoption
  • Working with adults with leaning difficulties
  • Supporting female (or male) survivors of Domestic Abuse
  • Working with children whose parents have experienced serious mental health problems

Module Outcomes

LO1. Critically reflect on their own knowledge and values regarding diverse cultures and the implications for their own social work practice

LO2. Demonstrate an awareness of diverse communities in Britain and effective social work practice with individuals from these communities.

LO3. Explore the challenges and opportunities presented by migration in relation to social work in the UK.

LO4. Understand and analyse a range of international social work models and make comparisons to UK social work practice

An image of blacks as presumptively criminal.

1) In the article “Slavery gave America a fear of Black people and a taste for violent punishment. Both still define our criminal justice system” by Byron Stevenson from the New York Times 1619 Project, a compelling argument is made that systemically this nation has fostered an image of blacks as presumptively criminal.

Considering this reading, course content, and discussion throughout the semester, explain: (a) How imprisonment adds to societal inequality and (b) how ignoring the victimization of black people being labeled criminals contributes to perpetuating negative stereotypes. (BE SPECIFIC and indicate each response by identifying and highlighting A and B)
