Assessment guidance
Always write from a social work perspective
Please write in the 3rd person not first person i.e. NOT I held a meeting with the family, instead the author held a meeting with the family…
Draw examples from practice and your experience in working with adults
In your analysis identify areas of further development
Proofread your work for spelling and grammar errors
Do not use contractions e.g., didn’t, won’t
Use UK English not American English i.e., personalise not personalize
When you make a point, please ensure that you back it up e.g., it has been argued…instead say Sampson (2020), Aladesuru (2018) and Karonyo (2021) argue…. Also ensure that you can reference all the statements that you make, at times it may seem obvious, but you need to reference the source of that information e.g. social workers have a duty to uphold professional boundaries. This appears to be an obvious statement BUT in academic writing it needs to be reference. You could use PCF domains to reference this.
