This guide is intended for social work educators tasked with delivering teaching on mental health, for those teaching other areas to think how issues of mental health and distress intersect, and for course directors. Part of a series, being produced by the College of Social Work - intended as guidance, not prescription!

This is a blog post about endings in social care work. It is adapted from another post for Social Work students that contained examples from practice. If you would like access to the one with examples, please feel free to email me from your college/university email address to andrew.ellery@btconnect.com Other blogs of interest to social care/social work students and practitioners at www.andyellery.wordpress.com

This assessment tool is aimed at students and practice educators to record their commentary on observations done as part of their assessment of competence in practice. Students may also use it outside of formal observations as a reflective record of their own practice for discussion in supervision.This tool has also been adapted to fit with NQSW and Stage 1 and 2 practice educator training. It will be further adapted to fit with PCF. An evaluation of its use is available.
