The amount of learning that has been lost in terms of direct work with service users, but also the impact of the support networks that teams provide.

Social work is a complex practise with the need for us to have know professional knowledge as well as practise knowledge. The practise learning opportunities have been impacted but to what extent we don’t yet know.

The positives have been the creativity that has been used to keep learning through virtual communities. New technology has been utilised, agencies have adapted to working in a crisis.

The building of a strong work ethic during a challenging time.

Time to build on the head and heart in terms of knowledge and reading 

This experience is invaluable as we are the cohort who had to adapt to the changing nature of learning and find resilience when there seemed no hope. 

Contingency planning to support learning if this was to happen again, the possibility of localised lockdowns is now something we need to be prepared for.

Support for students on the emotional impact of the virtual placemat, the self doubt, imposter syndrome and feelings of helplessness need to be addressed.

As a social work student, this pandemic has significantly impacted my learning, I was hoping to get a real feel of working on front line by working with service users, speaking to qualified professionals and learning on the job. However, working from home has limited my learning experience as I missing out on the practical side of things. It is down to various online applications that has enabled to continue working the best we can to stay in contact with service users and colleagues. ]]> 2020-07-11 23:15:58 UTC https://padlet.com/khadija1975/mwmihvhikf1tha1y/wish/652444227 https://padlet.com/khadija1975/mwmihvhikf1tha1y/wish/652727195 As a student  virtual placement has meant that I can continue my learning at home.  It has helped us to embrace change and look to new creative ways of learning. However, social work is a practice based profession, which to me means  Interacting directly with people And learning from that interaction. I believe that  I have not been able to learn much from case studies and theories. ]]> 2020-07-12 19:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/khadija1975/mwmihvhikf1tha1y/wish/652727195 https://padlet.com/khadija1975/mwmihvhikf1tha1y/wish/657818308 The good thing about the placement is that students have been there for one another within the cohort.
Studying this way has been difficult and mind numbing, it has been hard to remain focused. Studying in isolation and trying to make link to practice with no practice has been difficult. I have struggled to learn from the case studies and have found it hard to reflect without real life experiences. 
The things that could have been better were the support from the university as it just seems like they have left us to get on with the work with little input.
