Introducing the Reflective Practice Toolkit

The Reflective Practice Toolkit has been created to offer practical support for workers and services looking to use the Workforce Capability Framework (The Framework) for reflective practice.

As you know, The Framework outlines the expected capabilities for individuals employed in Queensland’s specialist domestic, family and sexual violence, and women’s health and wellbeing workforce. Domain 5 of The Framework emphasises the significance of reflective practice and self-awareness in this work at all levels and roles.

The Toolkit provides information on reflective practice approaches, practical resources, as well as tips for their use.

Additionally, The Toolkit contains five sets of reflective practice cards aligned with The Framework Capabilities domains and levels, which include:

  • Allied Support
  • Practitioner
  • Advanced Practitioner
  • Leader, and
  • A team set to support group reflective activities.

The resources within The Toolkit are adaptable and can be used in various ways to meet the specific needs of services and individuals. For instance, to help facilitate reflective team discussions, professional supervision, self-reflection, performance discussions, or team building.

The Toolkit has been distributed to several services and consultants for testing and feedback.

We invite you to participate in the upcoming Reflective Practice & Self Awareness – What Does Good Look Like? Online workshops held in late October and December. This is an opportunity to explore these resources and provide feedback. To find out more and to register visit https://workupqld.org.au/whats-on/.

The feedback will be used to make final improvements before releasing the resources to the sector in early 2025.
