| Course description | This course is particularly concerned with the current policy context as it constructs and constrains the community work task. It aims to locate and analyse those policy discourses which inform the context of practice and to identify what spaces exist between competing discourses and demands in which to develop a critical, competent and coherent community work practice. |
