The MANDELA Model Workbook

The MANDELA model, developed by Dr. Prospera Tedam, seeks to provide a framework for practice educators who are enabling the learning of social work students in practice placement settings. The Model aims to drive change and promote new ways of thinking and working with infants, young children, families and practitioners. It is a reflective framework of questions that aims to promote reflexivity in our work. Reflexivity allows us to question our own assumptions, reflect on what influences us and use this learning to create change.
