In Social Care there are challenges, changes, and uncertainties on a daily basis. Working with individuals who have unique wants and needs require us to adapt quickly. It is therefore important to reflect on our practice. Everyone learns by experience and as a result we improve on the quality of care given to the individuals we support.
Reflective practice is an examination of personal thoughts and actions as well as a key way of progressive learning. “The principle is that good practitioners do not simply do things; rather, they continually learn, develop and grow their abilities” (Jarvis, 1992). This method of learning can promote a better use of skills and knowledge while providing a space to discuss feelings, thoughts, values and the impact of these on actions thus ensuring competent accountable practice. This course in an interactive course requiring participation and sharing experience and practice in a safe environment which can then be transferred to the workplace.

- define what is meant by reflective practice – the what, why and how of reflection
- identify the underlying principles and tools for personal and group reflective practice
