This is the second supervised field practice in the programme of study. It usually requires two days per week and takes place during the fourth year of the programme. The field practice component includes hands-on experiences in various social work settings, where students engage in direct service with individuals, families, groups, and communities, focusing on strengthening social support and navigating social protection systems. Activities involve conducting assessments, developing intervention plans, participating in case management, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. Students also take part in supervision sessions, reflective practice discussions, and workshops focused on specific skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and cultural competency to foster social inclusion and advocate for reduced inequalities and good governance. Additionally, they document their experiences through reflective journaling and may engage in community outreach initiatives.
