For the extra curricular I just mainly talk about my work experience but this can just be linked with the work experience section.
I'd recommend reading through this thread: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1083 as it has a lot of handy advice already set up :smile:

It's general rather than specific to social work but still very applicable!

There's also a confidential PS review section where you can upload privately- don't upload it online on a 'normal' thread.
