Series: Transforming Social Work Practice Series

What relevance has IT to a social worker? The GSCC demands computer literacy to the level of the European Computer Driving Licence.

This book enables students to identify their standard in the seven core areas and through carefully planned activities mapped to social work skills, it helps them to reach the required standard and to enhance their professional practice.

Ideal for self-directed study, it could also form the basis of a course in which the students create an e-portfolio of IT skills.

Reviews for Practical Computer Skills for Social Work

Excellent, thorough, yet concise; clear. Ties in with the European Computer Driving Licence needed alongside the B.A Social Work (Lecturer in Social Work, Bradford College) A practical, user-friendly guide in an area many students still find daunting and inaccessible (Lecturer, Bridgend College)
