Learning Outcomes A1, C1 and D1

You may have slightly misconstrued the meaning and scope of the learning outcomes. The focus of your essay seems to be the use of research , as a way of informing the Social Work profession by providing evidence or efficacy of certain approaches; i.e. EBP .

However, your take is almost entirely aimed at Research as an academic endeavour rather then looking at how different sources of knowledge can be used as evidence to support and justify actions , and intervention choices as a Social Work Practitioner .

A1: Identify the range of sources of evidence that inform social work practice.

As Research was the only source of evidence that you discussed , with perhaps a passing mention of text books , you have not identified a RANGE of sources as the LO required.

C1: Explain the application of different forms of evidence in best practice

Not met – there is not a single practice example in this submission . Examples will always help to illustrate your understanding .

D1: Reflect on how evidence can inform the learner’s own profess

Not met.No Attempt was made to reflect ; though you did indulge in a brief highly academic description of reflection.

`One further piece of advice would be for you to stick to simple, straight forward english to make your points easily understood. I would also urge you to vary your sources of information
