This module offers a particular focus on wellbeing and social justice and builds on the learning from ITS1 in semester one.
You will explore what constitutes effective practice with individuals who have been marginalised or excluded through mental health, disability, age, poverty.
The module will include discussions of anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory values in social work; social work ethics; radical theories of social work; psychodynamic theories and social work; systems theories/ecological approaches and you will benefit from co-production with experts by experience as part of the simulations used within the module.
During this part of the module, you will be asked to select and report on a small piece of ‘social justice’ intervention, that will make a difference in some way, however small, to an individual, organisation or to the way society constructs certain groups.
