SOCIAL WORK BA (HONS)
Experience with complex cases-
During my time in the under 12 team I was allocated to a case of three
young children presenting with complex needs whom various
professionals had concerns over. I worked with the family and built a
relationship no other had succeeded in through the families disguised
compliance. Through assessment I was able to enable a trusting
relationship where by disclosures were made by the children. I uncovered
generational sexual abuse that was kept within the family and missed by
other professionals throughout time. I was able to assist with the
achieving best evidence interview and provide written evidence for court.
The evidence I secured led to successful removal of the children and by
far a better future outcome.
I have also worked alongside a mother with learning disabilities who
fabricated induced illness in her young child. This took place from when
the child was four months old until she was three years of age. This
involved several trust hospitals and a level of induced illness that the child
had been heavily medicated even though there were in fact no medical
tests to determine any medical condition. I attended court for the fact
finding trial and worked the case from start to finish. Both of these cases
were made subject to serious case reviews due to case management
prior to my involvement. I was involved in the review and discussions with
the reviewing officer which was extremely beneficial to my learning and
development.
The course covered the following compulsory modules:
LEVEL 4:
