You will explore the ethical, legal and policy contexts for social work, which will equip you to manage the competing pressures of social work practice.\n\nThe placement begins in the Spring Term and lasts for 70 days, after completion of a module designed to support your professional development.\n\nYear 2\n\nAs part of your second year you'll undertake your final statutory placement. This will take 100 days and will contribute 40 credits toward your course. You will also choose a module that will allow you to study a particular branch of social work in more depth, and work on your dissertation.\n\nYou will work with a qualified social work practice educator who will support and assess you throughout the placement. Your placement is a chance to develop and follow your own professional interests, with guidance from our academic staff.",
