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.
