Working with Children, Young People and Families
Supporting children, young people and vulnerable families is an increasingly high profile area of social policy. Professionals working with children and young people are increasingly required to have formal qualifications recognising their expertise in these areas. Newman University's courses within the subject area at foundation degree, undergraduate and postgraduate level explore the key policies and practices relating to the social care and education of children, young people and families.
All courses combine the study of policies and best practice, and the implications of these policies and practices in the real world. Often full and part-time students from a variety of professional backgrounds study alongside each other, resulting in stimulating discussions of how policies and strategies impact on various settings, and enable students to gain an understanding of multi-agency working and improve the efficiency of the organisations they work in.
