Task A
What Is Reflective Practice?
Reflective practice helps social workers to develop an understanding of practice events. Group sessions may lead to action in certain cases, but that is not the main goal of the reflective process; instead, developing understanding in the context of a supportive peer group makes it easier for social workers to admit feelings of frailty, failure and personal vulnerability. It is a "safe" space in which to talk without fear of repercussion - and this can dramatically reduce work-related stress. Supervision, on the other hand, is vulnerable to the tension between supporting the social worker and managing their performance
Why Is Reflective Practice Important?
One of the reasons why reflective practice is so important for social workers is that no amount of training can completely prepare a social worker for the requirements of their profession over the course of their entire career. For example, the context of a client's problem in one decade will almost certainly be very different in another, which means that the client will need to have access to a social worker whose particular experience can take into account this new context.
Meanwhile the social worker might be stuck in a set of processes and routines from a decade ago (or further back), which means that the social worker will either be unable to help the client or, worse, will attempt to impose an outdated and ultimately useless set of rules that might even cause more damage than they resolve.
How Reflective Practice Contributes To Improving The Quality Of Service Provision.
Reflective practice contributes to improving the quality of service provision as the care sector constantly revises policies and procedures and new standards are constantly being set. Care workers are to keep up to date on any revision of policies, procedures and standards to enable them to do their job to the quality expected of them.
