Course Overview

The central aims of the course are to update and enhance knowledge of relevant law and research literature and to provide an opportunity for experienced practitioners to further develop and critically reflect upon their skills, as applied to a variety of areas and settings in work with children. It also aims to promote the anti-discriminatory practice, inter-agency understanding, and interdisciplinary working. The program is structured in a way that allows students to maintain full-time employment while studying, with teaching for each module taking place over an intensive 3-day period. The program, therefore, is designed to appeal to both the €˜conventional postgraduate student and specifically, those already engaged professionally in this area of activity, in social work, health, the legal profession, or otherwise.
