Dear Student
1 INTRODUCTION
Unisa is a comprehensive open distance e-learning (CODeL) higher education institution.
The comprehensiveness of our curricula encapsulates a range of offerings, from strictly
vocational to strictly academic certificates, diplomas and degrees. Unisa's "openness" and
its distance eLearning character result in many students registering at Unisa who may not
have had an opportunity to enrol in higher education. Our ODeL character implies that our
programmes are carefully planned and structured to ensure success for students ranging
from the under-prepared but with potential to the sufficiently prepared.
Teaching and learning in a CODeL context involves multiple modes of delivery ranging from
blended learning to fully online. As a default position, all post graduate programmes are
offered fully online with no printed study materials, while undergraduate programmes are
offered in a blended mode of delivery where printed study materials are augmented with
online teaching and learning via the learner management system – myUnisa. In some
instances, undergraduate programmes are offered fully online as well.
Furthermore, our programmes are aligned with the vision, mission and values of the
University. Unisa's commitment to serve humanity and shape futures combined with a clear
appreciation of our location on the African continent, Unisa's graduates have distinctive
graduate qualities which include:
• independent, resilient, responsible and caring citizens who are able to fulfil and
serve in multiple roles in their immediate and future local, national and global
communities
• having a critical understanding of their location on the African continent with its
histories, challenges and potential in relation to globally diverse contexts
• the ability to critically analyse and evaluate the credibility and usefulness of
information and data from multiple sources in a globalised world with its ever-
increasing information and data flows and competing worldviews
• how to apply their discipline-specific knowledge competently, ethically and
creatively to solve real-life problems
• an awareness of their own learning and developmental needs and future potential
This module is offered in a blended mode. However, it is important to note that Unisa, as a
comprehensive open distance e-learning institution (CODeL), is moving towards becoming
an online institution. You will therefore see that all your study material, assessments and
engagements with your lecturer and fellow students will take place online. This tutorial letter
is intended to offer you some guidance in this regard.
Whether a module is offered either as blended (meaning that we use a combination of
printed and online material to engage with you) or online (all information is available via the
internet), we use myUnisa as our virtual campus. This is an online system that is used to
4
SCW2601/101/3/2024
administer, document and deliver educational material to you and support engagement with
you. Look out for information from your lecturer as well as other Unisa platforms to determine
how to access the virtual myUnisa module site. Information on the tools that will be available
to engage with the lecturer and fellow students to support your learning will also be
communicated via various platforms. You are encouraged to log into the module site on
myUnisa regularly (that is, at least twice per week).
2 PURPOSE AND OUTCOMES
2.1 Purpose
You may be wondering why you had to register for a law module when you are studying
towards becoming a social worker and not a lawyer. The answer is simple, in your
professional role as a social worker, you will be working in a statutory framework and
environment. In fact, according to the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), the
Associated Assessment Criteria of the Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work (BSW) should
include amongst other aspects the following:
• A critical evaluation of the relationship between the values and principles of the Bill
of Rights and those of the social work profession.
• The identification of the social worker`s role and functions in protecting and promoting
human rights in practical terms.
• A clear identification of the relevant resources, available to the social worker for the
protection of human rights. The resources include the Public Protector, the Human
Rights Commission, the Commission for Promotion and Protection of the Rights of
Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities and the Commission for Gender
Equality.
• The inclusion of descriptions of relevant sections of legislation and charters that have
an impact in social work practice.
• Clear descriptions of the South African judicial system including the structure, roles
and powers of the various courts as well as those of social workers.
The introduction of the above criteria was in response to the qualitative study undertaken by
Dr Mariana de Jager in 2013 who investigated how well prepared BSW graduates were as
beginner social workers. It was found that the graduates could not demonstrate an
understanding of the roles and functions of the social worker within relevant statutory
frameworks. Our task in this Tutorial Letter is therefore to help you recognise that social
workers have statutory responsibilities towards their clients and to fully understand what that
means in practice. Hence it is to your advantage to be conversant with the legal system in
order to be in a better position to help your prospective clients.
Our main objective with this module is to highlight how the South African legal system
operates and its relevance to social workers. This module will thus equip students with the
understanding and application of the selected branches of law as they apply to social work.
This will enable you on completion of this module to have an understanding and ability to
5
solve clients’ problems using correct procedures and applying appropriate legal rules and
concepts.
2.2 Outcomes
After successful completion of the module, you will be able to:
• Recognise and illustrate the importance of understanding and using legal principles
in appropriate ways through written activities and discussions.
• Analyse social work case studies, with reference to appropriate systems and
procedures of the South African legal system.
• Evaluate the varying roles of social workers and legal practitioners in the South
African court system.
• Analyse for your client the procedures which apply in the courts, and the implications
of these, with reference to appropriate systems of the South African legal system.
• Apply in social work contexts, legal rules and procedures to situations within clients’
cases and scenarios where social problems have to be mediated upon by social
workers.
3 CURRICULUM TRANSFORMATION
Unisa has implemented a transformation charter, in terms of which the university has placed
curriculum transformation high on the teaching and learning agenda. Curriculum
transformation includes student-centred scholarship, the pedagogical renewal of teaching
and assessment practices, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and the infusion of
African epistemologies and philosophies. All of these will be phased in at both programme
and module levels, and as a result of this you will notice a marked change in the teaching
and learning strategy implemented by Unisa, together with the way in which the content is
conceptualised in your modules. We encourage you to embrace these changes during your
studies at Unisa in a responsive way within the framework of transformation.

6.1 The Unisa First-Year Experience Programme
Many students find the transition from school education to tertiary education stressful. This
is also true in the case of students enrolling at Unisa for the first time. Unisa is a dedicated
open distance and e-learning institution, and it is very different from face-to-face/contact
institutions. It is a mega university, and all our programmes are offered through either
blended learning or fully online learning. It is for this reason that we thought it necessary to
offer first-time students additional/extended support to help them seamlessly navigate the
Unisa teaching and learning journey with little difficulty and few barriers. We therefore offer
a specialised student support programme to students enrolling at Unisa for the first time –
this is Unisa’s First-Year Experience (FYE) Programme, designed to provide you with
prompt and helpful information about services that the institution offers and how you can
access information. The following FYE services are currently offered:

Counselling;

To ensure that you do not miss out on important academic and support communication
from the SRU, please check your myLife inbox regularly.
6.2 Companies falsely advertising Unisa services
Some companies and social media pages have been falsely advertising Unisa online
information and various services to assist Unisa students. In the process, companies either
solicit money fraudulently from students or make money through online advertising with no
benefit to students.
These companies are in no way associated or related to Unisa.
We request that students only use official Unisa sites and platforms as any other platforms
will provide you with incorrect information and/or act illegally which will be harmful to your
studies.
Unisa will always use official communication channels (e.g. Unisa website, myUnisa, Unisa
social media platforms, myLife e-mail) to communicate with students.
Please use the following Unisa platforms for official Unisa information:

7 STUDY PLAN
We know that in addition to your studies, you have a number of other commitments. To avoid
becoming overwhelmed or feeling out of control, it is important to have a structure to manage
your responsibilities and to keep you focused on your studies. You must therefore think
about when you will be studying, taking stock of how you spend your time. This may require
you to draw up a weekly study plan to ensure that you work through the study guide, tutorial
letters, do assignments and prepare for summative assessment (examination) during the
2024 academic year.
Remember: SCW2601 is a 12-credit module, which means that you will be required to spend
at least 120 hours working on the module in a semester.
8 PRACTICAL WORK
No practical work is required for this module.
9 ASSESSMENT
9.1 Assessment criteria
In order to be granted admission to write the examination for the semester you are registered
for, you must submit at least one compulsory assignment before or on the date of
submission. If you do not submit any assignment, YOU WILL NOT BE ADMITTED to
the examination.
9.2 Assessment plan
• To complete this module, you will be required to submit two assessments.
• All information about when and where to submit your assessments will be made
available to you via the myModules site for your module.
• Due dates for assessments, as well as the actual assessments are available on
the myModules site for this module.
• To gain admission to the examination, you will be required to submit one of the
two assignment/s.
• The assignment weighting for the module is 20%.
• You will receive examination information via the myModules sites. Please watch
out for announcements on how examinations for the modules for which you are
registered will be conducted.
• The examination will count 80% towards the final module mark.
13
9.3 Assessment due dates
• There are no assessment due dates included in this tutorial letter.
• Assessment due dates will be made available to you on the myModules landing
page for this module. We envisage that the due dates will be available to you
upon registration.
• Please start working on your assessments as soon as you register for the module.
• Log on to the myModules site for this module to obtain more information on the
due dates for the submission of the assessments.
9.4 Submission of assessments
• Unisa, as a comprehensive open distance e-learning institution (CODeL), is
moving towards becoming an online institution. You will therefore see that all your
study material, assessments and engagements with your lecturer and fellow
students will take place online. We use myUnisa as our virtual campus.
• The myUnisa virtual campus will offer students access to the myModules site,
where learning material will be available online and where assessments should
be completed. This is an online system that is used to administer, document, and
deliver educational material to students and support engagement between
academics and students.
• The myUnisa platform can be accessed via [Link] Click on the
myModules - button to access the online sites for the modules that you are
registered for.
• The university undertakes to communicate clearly and as frequently as is
necessary to ensure that you obtain the greatest benefit from the use of the
myModules learning management system. Please access the announcements
on your myModules site regularly, as this is where your lecturer will post important
information to be shared with you.
• When you access your myModules site for the module(s) you are registered for,
you will see a welcome message posted by your lecturer. Below the welcome
message you will see the assessment shells for the assessments that you need
to complete. Some assessments may be multiple choice, some tests, others
written assessments, some forum discussions, and so on. All assessments must
be completed on the assessment shells available on the respective module
platforms.
• For written assessments, please note the due date by which the assessment
must be submitted. Ensure that you follow the guidelines given by your lecturer
to complete the assessment. Click on the submission button on the relevant
14
SCW2601/101/3/2024
assessment shell on myModules. You will then be able to upload your written
assessment on the myModules site of the modules that you are registered for.
Before you finalise the upload, double check that you have selected the correct
file for upload. Remember, no marks can be allocated for incorrectly submitted
assessments.
9.4.1 Types of assignments and descriptions
Both assignments for this module are written assignments. Both assignments are
mandatory.
• Mandatory assignments
- If not submitted, the student gets no mark for this item.
I. Mandatory assignments
a. contribute to the year mark.
b. If a student fails to submit a mandatory assignment, no mark is awarded and the
year mark is calculated accordingly. The student will therefore forfeit the marks
attached to this assignment when the final mark for the module is calculated.
9.5 The assessments
As indicated in section 9.2, you need to complete two assessments for this module. There
are no assignments included in this tutorial letter. Assignments and due dates will be
made available to you on myModules for this module. We envisage that the due dates will
be available to you upon registration.
9.6 Other assessment methods
You also have self-assessment activities in the study guide. The self-assessment activities
do not count towards your year mark or towards your examination. You are therefore
encouraged to do these activities to better understand the contents of the module.
9.7 The examination
Examination information and details on the format of the examination will be made available
to you online via the myUnisa site. Look out for information that will be shared with you by
your lecturers and for communication from the university.
9.7.1 Invigilation/proctoring
Since 2020 Unisa conducts all its assessments online. Given stringent requirements from
professional bodies and increased solicitations of Unisa’s students by third parties to
unlawfully assist them with the completion of assignments and examinations, the University
is obliged to assure its assessment integrity through the utilisation of various proctoring
tools: Turnitin, Moodle Proctoring, the Invigilator App and IRIS. These tools will authenticate
the student’s identity and flag suspicious behaviour to assure credibility of students’
responses during assessments. The description below is for your benefit as you may
encounter any or all of these in your registered modules:
15
Turnitin is a plagiarism software that facilitates checks for originality in students’
submissions against internal and external sources. Turnitin assists in identifying academic
fraud and ghost writing. Students are expected to submit typed responses for utilisation of
the Turnitin software.
The Moodle Proctoring tool is a facial recognition software that authenticates students’
identity during their Quiz assessments. This tool requires access to a student’s mobile or
laptop camera. Students must ensure their camera is activated in their browser settings
prior to their assessments.
The Invigilator “mobile application-based service does verification” of the identity of an
assessment participant. The Invigilator Mobile Application detects student dishonesty-by-
proxy and ensures that the assessment participant is the registered student. This invigilation
tool requires students to download the app from their Play Store (Google, Huawei and Apple)
on their mobile devices (camera enabled) prior to their assessment.
IRIS Invigilation software verifies the identity of a student during assessment and provides
for both manual and automated facial verification. It has the ability to record and review a
student’s assessment session. It flags suspicious behaviour by the students for review by
an academic administrator. IRIS software requires installation on students’ laptop devices
that are enabled with a webcam.
Students who are identified and flagged for suspicious dishonest behaviour arising from the
invigilation and proctoring reports are referred to the disciplinary office for formal proceeding.
Please note:
Students must refer to their module assessment information on their myModule sites to
determine which proctoring or invigilation tool will be utilised for their formative and
summative assessments.
10 ACADEMIC DISHONESTY
10.1 Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the act of taking the words, ideas and thoughts of others and presenting them
as your own. It is a form of theft. Plagiarism includes the following forms of academic
dishonesty:
• Copying and pasting from any source without acknowledging the source.
• Not including references or deliberately inserting incorrect bibliographic information.
• Paraphrasing without acknowledging the original source of the information.
16
SCW2601/101/3/2024
10.2 Cheating
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Completing assessments on behalf of another student, copying the work of another
student during an assessment, or allowing another student to copy your work.
• Using social media (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram) or other platforms to disseminate
assessment information.
• Submitting corrupt or irrelevant files, this forms part of examination guidelines
• Buying completed answers from so-called “tutors” or internet sites (contract
cheating).
