The document discusses approaches to enabling work-based learning in social work specialist awards. It outlines the requirements of the General Social Care Council for social workers to support learning in the workplace. All specialist award candidates must teach and assess a qualifying social work student. The unit discussed aimed to develop skills for coordinating, facilitating, and assessing learning to enable developing competence and capability. It used experiential and group learning, a self-managed guidebook, and assessments of competence and capability. The goal was for candidates to take responsibility for their own and others' learning through a critically reflective approach.
