SWN019 Research for Social Change

All qualified social workers need to have an appreciation of the relevance of research for practice, particularly given the emphasis on evidence-based practice in the field. Research can provide one form of evidence, alongside other sources of knowledge, to inform practice decision-making about efficacious approaches. Research also plays a role in highlighting alternative ways of addressing individual and social needs, as well as providing a foundation for advocacy and social change. This unit builds on SWN002 and prepares you for SWN020 where you will implement the research project you design in SWN019.
