Assignment 302
Task A
Ai - What is reflective practice?
Social workers are encouraged to consider how their own construction of day-to-day life impacts on the judgements and decisions that they make in their practice. This method of working is often referred to as “reflection”.
Why is a reflective practice important?
It is important you have a level of self awareness about what you are doing and how you are doing. If you are not self aware then you won't appreciate when you are not working effectively.
How reflective practice contributes to improving the quality of service provision
If workers think about what they are doing and what they can do to make it better their work will improve and so will the service provision.
How standards can be used to help a social care worker reflect on their practice
Standards tell you how you should be working. You can use them to think about what you do and what you need to do to be a better worker.
Aii -
A) Seeking feedback is important because it gives a worker some idea of how they are working - what they are doing well and what could be improved, helping them work in the best possible way.
B) Giving feedback to individuals can be challenging but if we prepare correctly it can be a painless process. We give feedback because we want things to change, the more effort we put into it the greater the change will be, when giving feedback there may be different reactions sch as surprise or shock, anger or annoyance, resistance and acceptance.
C) Feedback informs you of the areas of your work that may need further training or a different approach and also what you are doing very well and have been praised for by a manager or service user for instance. It also gives you the opportunity to ask what to do with the feedback, say, where to gain training required and when, how to improve on certain skills.
