Course aims and objectives:
The ESWP will extend a social worker’s range and application of generic knowledge and skills, as well as more in-depth expertise in a selected area of work. The programme draws heavily on a social worker’s practice experience and this is reflected in what will be learned and how this will be assessed. The ESWP has a relentless focus on improving social work knowledge and practice in a Welsh context by incorporating research and social work theory in the analysis and critical reflection of specific areas of practice.
The programme consists of two parts:
part a) core teaching and learning in three areas:
- i) Children and Families or Adults
- ii) Mental Health and Well-being
- iii) Enabling Others
Part b) a Specialist Area of Enquiry agreed between the social worker and their employer.
The programme is a total of 60 level 7 (or in some circumstances level 6) credits (30 from part a) and 30 from part b). Social workers are encouraged to complete the award within two years, but may use a total of three years; in exceptional circumstances they may extend beyond three years.
