Reflective practice in social work - Andy Mantell

Reflective practice is at the heart of becoming a competent and confident social worker. Its both a key element of learning and development on social work courses and an important aspect of social work practice.
This accessible and introductory text explores a range of approaches to reflective practice to help students become more confident in answering key questions, including what is reflective practice?, how do I develop as a reflective practitioner? and how do I maintain reflective practice in key contexts?. There are many useful resources such as Writing reflective journals, Communicating well with service users and carers and Reflective practice while on placements.
