Evaluate research findings and trends for implications to social service delivery (Classroom, Synchronous and Asynchronous)

With the introduction of the new Skills Framework for Social Service and awareness of trends and developments to then apply these trends back to professional work are being identified as a critical work function for social workers and youth workers, SSI sees an urgent need to develop appropriate training programmes to build competency in this area, since there is a lack of such training. The Learning & Professional Development team at SSI deliberated on this training need, and in consultation with some external stakehold-ers concluded that SSI should take the lead and offer WSQ Evaluate Research Findings and Trends for Social Service Delivery to meet the sectoral need.

The competencies that learners will acquire through this course are extremely important for professional work to be performed seam-lessly and successfully, as social work involves interaction with clients which can be very diverse with fast changing needs and envi-ronment for social service practitioners. Practitioners must be able to evaluate research findings and trends to sift out the most valid and relevant domain practices to help them in stay effective in their professional duties. It is also important for them to be able to measure the effectiveness of services and programmes rolled out to the sector.
