- the different points of intervention – initial referral and screening, assessment and care planning and review and assessment
Estimated time required
40-60 minutes
Instructions
In Social Work Intervention you will be asked to work through a case study considering the different points for intervention - initial referral and screening, assessment and care planning and review and assessment. Two case studies are presented and you may work your way through either or both.
You will be asked as the social worker to draw on legal knowledge to make recommendations to your Supervisor on how social work intervention in this case should proceed.
Social work practice frequently operates under time and resource pressures. To model that context here, your choices for consultation of people and/or data sources will be restricted.
