Embedding the Capabilities Statements for people with learning disabilities and autistic adults
Accompanying documents and resources: "Embedding the Capabilities Statements for people with learning disabilities and autistic adults" webinar
Part of BASW's Professional Practice Series of webinars. The last in a series of 3 webinars. Directly linked to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) project on embedding the capabilities statement.
The webinar will:
- Present the mapping documents and curriculum outlines for social work with autistic adults and people with learning disabilities which enable social workers to gain a specialist post-qualifying award
- Consider how we ensure that this level and approach to learning and attainment is recognised and valued as ‘specialist’ - over and beyond that required for initial qualification as social workers
- Describe and discuss the ‘blended model’ for post-graduate development which is a staged approach to skills development where practitioners use their practice experience, consolidated with theory and academic input, to develop their skills
