- As a student social worker in the Referral and Assessment team I have been given a range of learning opportunities and tasks. I have supported other social workers in strategy meetings and home visits by recording the notes and taking the minutes. I have also been tasked with writing a section 17 assessment for 6 families. This involved contacting the families by introducing myself and arranging a time to visit the home. Conducting safety plans and Family network meetings. I did this within the Achieving for Children and statutory timeframes within the Children Act (1989). As part of the section 17 assessment, I completed direct work with the children. This helped me to include their thoughts and feelings into the assessment.
