ACSWP Applied Community Support Work Practice

For professionals

Make space to reflect on your practice

Community support and social work roles involve decisions that deserve time and attention. Use ACSWP as a professional development opportunity to examine your approach, identify learning priorities and discuss how learning connects with your responsibilities.

Whether you are developing confidence in a new role or reviewing established practice, start with the programme outline. Select learning that fits your experience, work setting and development plan.

Is this suitable for you?

  • You work in, or alongside, community support or social work practice.
  • You want a structured space to reflect on responsibilities and everyday decisions.
  • You are planning continuing development, whether early in your career or well established.

An example reflection

A useful reflective question to bring into your practice: what did I notice about my own assumptions in a recent interaction, and how did that shape my response? The programme's learning areas give this kind of question a structured place to develop.
