Objectives On completion of this subject students will have developed an understanding of the historical foundations of social welfare practice and an ability to conceptualise and analyse social welfare practice according to a particular theoretical framework.

Synopsis This subject is a critical examination of social welfare practice across the different modes of intervention - individual and family, group, community, organisation and policy. Whilst the lower level subjects have separated the study of these different foci of intervention, this subject will link the micro and macro practice approaches and present an integrated view of social welfare practice through the examination of a particular theoretical perspective. Students will choose to explore in depth a particular theoretical perspective from the following: Christian; ecological; feminist; green; and post-structural.
