This subject provides an introduction to the knowledge, values, and skills of welfare practice. It examines the basic principles of social casework, groupwork, and interviewing. There will be a three-day residential workshop, to be held over the third weekend school in April. Attendance at this residential school is a compulsory part of the subject, and students will have been made aware of this, and undertaken to attend, during the selection process.
