Social work external accrediting bodies are moving towards competency-based models that require educational providers to demonstrate that students meet specific competencies at graduation. It is expected that all social work students at accredited social work programs in Australia will have acquired specific graduate attributes and demonstrated the associated learning outcomes by the completion of their degree. The purpose of this study was to investigate the experiences and benefits of using an ePortfolio with Master of Social Work students (n = 43) to critically reflect on their own learning and demonstrate how they met the Australian Association of Social Work graduate attributes necessary for accreditation. The findings revealed that students’ perceived level of readiness for practice and identity as a professional social worker increased with the successful completion of the ePortfolio. The study also identified barriers and enablers in implementing the ePortfolio as an assessment piece to document overall program learning outcomes. The conclusion discusses how ePortfolios are a viable assessment tool in the online and blended learning space that has benefit for both the student and the program in demonstrating learning outcomes and compliance with accreditation graduate standards.

Recovery-oriented practice is the dominant framework for mental health services in Australia. However, evidence demonstrating recovery processes outside public services is scant. This study explores how key processes from the Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment (CHIME) personal recovery conceptual framework related to service-user experiences of a rural mental health service during the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative telephone or video-conference interviews were conducted with 19 service users. Deductive and inductive data analysis was employed, applying the CHIME framework as a predetermined organisational structure. Themes were constructed according to the CHIME framework categories. The data reflected all five categories; connectedness and empowerment were salient. Participants’ service-delivery experiences could either enhance or hinder connectedness, the cultivation of hope, a positive identity, meaning in life, and empowerment. Nonclinical aspects of their experience were viewed as an extension of treatment. Opportunities exist for mental health practitioners to intentionally prioritise and strengthen recovery-oriented practice. Trauma-informed approaches are consistent with and complement personal recovery principles. Accountability structures are needed to monitor recovery-oriented practice in mental health settings. Family-focused interventions also need strengthening to build connectedness, meaning, and hope.

ABSTRACTDomestic and family violence experienced by women and children is a significant social issue. Children and young people’s exposure to domestic and family violence is a recognised form of child abuse and neglect nationally and internationally reflected in child protection legislations and practice guidelines. There is an increasing imperative to ensure effective responses are provided to children and young people, however there are significant service gaps that warrant urgent attention. In this article it is argued that the way forward to responding to the increasing numbers of children and young people who experience domestic and family violence is to build capacity in the existing structure and expertise in women’s shelters.IMPLICATIONSBuilding capacity in existing structures and expertise within women’s shelters can help workers respond to the needs of children and young people.Implementing a child-centred and child-informed practice approach within shelters and employing specialists can ensure that children and young people will be safely and effectively supported.KEYWORDS: Domestic and Family ViolenceChild ProtectionChild-centred PracticeWomen’s SheltersEarly InterventionChildrenYoung PeopleMothersSouth AustraliaSocial Work PracticeWomen’s RefugesSupport ServicesCrisis AccommodationPathwaysCapacity BuildingSocial Worker ExpertiseOut-of-home Care AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank the practitioners in women’s shelters who have supported and guided work informing this analysis.

ABSTRACTNeo-liberalism has driven a crisis in Social Work Field Education (SWFE) globally, creating competition, funding cuts, increased workload, and limited capacity to support students. This has been exacerbated by widespread disruptions associated with the global pandemic and other disasters. This article outlines how one Australian university SWFE team has enhanced placement opportunities for students and industry during times of crisis, via a partnership approach. Outcomes include multiple student placements, joint initiatives, mutual relationship, and reciprocity, placing all students during a pandemic. The article contributes to addressing global SWFE challenges, provides a framework for consideration, and identifies areas for further investigation.IMPLICATIONSAn innovative SWFE partnership model can assist universities and industry to withstand global crises impacting placements.Committed partners and placements, collegial relationships, and a reference group that collaboratively sets agendas for agency and university increases placement opportunities for all students.KEYWORDS: Field EducationPartnershipPlacementSocial WorkCollaborationWork Integrated Learning (WIL)Australia AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge Dr Patrick O’Keeffe and Dr Christina David (School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT) for providing valuable advice and guidance.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).
摘要新自由主义在全球范围内引发了社会工作领域教育(SWFE)的危机，造成了竞争、资金削减、工作量增加和支持学生的能力有限。与全球大流行病和其他灾害有关的广泛破坏加剧了这种情况。本文概述了澳大利亚西南财经大学的一个团队如何在危机时期通过合作方式为学生和行业增加就业机会。结果包括多个学生安置、联合行动、相互关系和互惠，在大流行期间安置所有学生。本文有助于解决全球主权财富基金面临的挑战，提供了一个考虑框架，并确定了进一步研究的领域。创新的SWFE合作模式可以帮助大学和行业抵御影响就业的全球危机。承诺的合作伙伴和实习，学院关系，以及一个为机构和大学共同制定议程的参考小组，为所有学生增加了实习机会。关键词:实地教育伙伴关系实习社会工作协作工作综合学习(WIL)澳大利亚致谢作者要感谢Patrick O 'Keeffe博士和Christina David博士(RMIT全球、城市和社会研究学院)提供的宝贵建议和指导。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。

While social work research in Australia is in reasonable shape, it requires a strong research culture promoting rigorous research to enhance its credibility and influence on social policy discourses. This study explored proposals to advance social work research, based on interviews with 20 experienced Australian social work researchers. Strategies identified include improving research culture and training, the development of research infrastructure to promote and stimulate research, and forming new partnerships both among researchers and between researchers and research end-users. Growing and strengthening the research foundations of the discipline is essential to its future relevance.
