CPD Category 3: Professional Identity - Participation in a Practice Group

Peer Supervision provides a video-conferencing opportunity for school social workers to engage in focussed supervision with an experienced practitioner. Numbers are strictly limited (10), and open to Victorian school social workers in P-12 schools who follow AASW Practice Standards for School Social Workers. Because of limited numbers, peer supervision is not provided for other professionals or private practitioners. There are no minutes or recording due to the private professional and confidential content. Participants should be ready to share a student case, school program or issue for discussion.

Registration is essential. Cost: $5 AASW members, $10 non-members.

Peer Supervision focussed on case planning and problem-solving in the school policy and practice environment will be held in late January 2023 (date TBA).

1 CPD Hour - Category 1: Receiving Supervision

VIC Branch: Victorian Professional Identity and Events Sub-Committee (VPIE) is pleased to present the following webinar: What is Our Social Worker Identity?

If you are like most social workers you have probably felt misunderstood by colleagues from other disciplines at some time. Our values make us a little different than other professions. But, when it comes to trying to explain the differences we feel ill equipped to explain the differences. This leads us to question our identity as social workers. What is it that really makes us different? What are our values? What really makes up our social work identity? In this two hour lunchtime session we will hear from a panel of experts who will guide us to answer these questions and who will ask us more. Join us as we seek to understand the social work identity.
