MASTERS OF SOCIAL WORK Assessment 1 Part A HSSW401 HSSW401 Assessment 1 Part A 500 words Relates to Learning Outcomes (LO) 2, 4, 5 Task: Online group discussion  In Assessment 1 Part A: Select a topic from the options below and post your contribution. In this post, you are required to contribute and reflect on your personal values through your contribution to the online forums with your peers on one of the topics provided. You can either start the conversation or you can respond to another post, but your entry must be equivalent to 500 words. There is no right or wrong with this. You are being assessed on your critical reflection, the ability to think about your values and your social work practice/professional values.  Within the forum, it is important to remember, that everyone's views are valid and important. You might respond to someone whose views and values differ to your own. How will you do this in a professional manner? Remember, many of our clients are likely to have a different view to our own or might engage in an activity that you do not condone. Similarly, with your peers/colleagues, you may have different views, but the emphasis is how you engage with them.  Discussion Topics Please choose one of the following topics and submit your discussion forum entry under the relevant topic post as a reply to either the original post or another student's post. In your post consider the topic and the questions posed. Please reference as per UNE requirements where you refer to source documents or literature in your post. # Topic Questions 1 Youth offending Young offenders who offend on more than one occasion should be sentenced to detention. Agree or disagree? Why? 2 Refugees People seeking asylum and refuge should be allowed to enter and settle in Australia whilst their applications are determined rather than remain in detention? Agree or disagree? Why? 3 Childhood vaccination Children who are not vaccinated should be excluded from childcare and/or school. Agree or disagree? Why?  4 Income Management The reduction in personal liberty through income management which limits the use of social security payments (e.g., via cashless cards) is worth the benefits for the individual and the community. Agree or disagree? Why? 5 End of life decisions Family rather than medical staff should be able to determine that people with incurable, terminal illnesses should be kept alive and be given all possible treatment even where this treatment may not be deemed medically valid. Agree or disagree? Why? MASTERS OF SOCIAL WORK Assessment 1 Part B HSSW401 HSSW401 Assessment 1 Weighting 20% Part B  1000 Words Task:  Critical Reflection In this first piece of assessment, you are required to contribute and reflect on your personal values on one of the topics provided, and how this might impact your professional values and your social work practice.  There are two parts to this. The first part is your contribution to an online forum with your peers one of the topical provided. Your entry must be equivalent to 500 words. See instruction details in Part A.  The second part of the assessment is a critical reflection on your forum post. This reflection will be equivalent to 1000 words.  Your reflection will be based on your online forum entry and will outline how your views on your selected topic have been developed, and how they have changed/stayed the same over the time of your studies so far and their relevance to social work values and practice. Some questions to think about: Why do I have these views/values? How did they develop? Have they changed or been challenged? How might this challenge me in practice? How might I work with these, especially if my personal values are different to my professional ones? As this is a reflection, there is no right or wrong answer. You are being assessed on your critical reflection, the ability to think about your personal values and your social work practice/professional values and how these may affect your practice.  You are required to reference any sources or literature as per UNE standards where these are used in your reflection.  Submit both a copy of your online entry (Part A) and your critical reflective piece (Part B) in a single document, and together they will equal 1500 words. Marking will be based on your critical reflection skills, not on your personal values. Please see the marking rubric for further details.  Submission status Attempt number This is attempt 1.
