Introduction to Social Work

SPY00024C
Course Description:
We start from the view that social work is both a discipline and a profession. You will learn about the history of social work, how it has evolved over time and place, and you will study the contemporary context in the UK and beyond. Social work is distinctive in appreciating both the interior human world and the exterior material world, and their interrelationship. Different strands of social work have favoured one more than the other and you will learn about how social work engages with individuals, families, groups, communities, and the macropolitics and policy that influence people?s everyday lives.
