This is followed by findings from a qualitative analysis of student reports (n = 54), which offer rich insights into the benefits and challenges of the BDI experience across theoretical, interpersonal, ethical and interdisciplinary domains. Four core themes emerged: (i) Child protection knowledge and power, (ii) Authentic engagement or game playing? (iii) Interpersonal skills are important (in direct practice), and (iv) Reflection consolidates learning. These are discussed in relation to simulation in social work education and the BDI more specifically.]]> Thu 14 Jul 2022 15:31:12 AEST ]]>
