Reflective practice in social work

Reflective practice is at the heart of becoming a competent and confident social worker. It?s both a key element of learning and development on social work courses and an important aspect of social work practice. This accessible and introductory text explores a range of approaches to reflective practice, its main aim being to help you as a student become more confident in answering key questions, including ’what is reflective practice?’, ?how do I develop as a reflective practitioner??, ?how do I maintain reflective practice in key contexts??.  There are sections on writing reflective journals, communicating well with service users and carers and reflective practice while on placements.
