Multi-Agency Working in Social Work
6 weeks · 0 milestones
Document real participation as a social work student in a multi-agency meeting, case conference, or professional network meeting. Proof requires: (a) an anonymised case summary describing the agencies involved, the nature of the multi-agency work, and the student's role — no service user identifying information whatsoever, (b) a written account of your professional contribution to the discussion or decision-making process — what perspective you brought, what you contributed, and what you learned from the multi-agency interaction, and (c) a practice educator's or supervising social worker's written confirmation of your participation and professional conduct. A multi-agency meeting record containing identifying information is a serious data protection breach — rigorously anonymise all documentation before submission. Peer verification is NOT accepted for this outcome — qualified practice educator or registered social worker confirmation is required. Requires current DBS/background check clearance and safeguarding training completion.

Select one anonymised case from your placement and map all the agencies involved (health, education, housing, police, voluntary sector) and their respective roles. A multi-agency network diagram or table is the artefact. All identifying information must be anonymised — agencies may be named, individuals must not be.
Proof required
Submit: (1) anonymised multi-agency map or table for one case showing agencies, their roles, communication channels, and how decisions are made; (2) 200-word note on the gaps or tensions in this specific multi-agency arrangement.
What gets checked
- Case is anonymised to role descriptors — agencies named, individual workers and service users anonymised
- Map identifies at least 3 agencies and their distinct roles
- Note on gaps demonstrates analysis — not just listing what each agency does
