You’ll study topics such as:

• Legislation relating to education, child protection, and health
• Roles and responsibilities of agencies

The program allows you to explore different aspects of working with children and families, in a variety of environments. Upon graduation, you’ll be able to pursue careers in areas such as family support, community development, education, and mentorship.

You may choose to pursue further study after graduation, such as the MA in Social Work, giving you the qualifications you need to be a social worker.

This degree also gives students the option to incorporate the Level 3 Diploma for The Children and Young Person's Workforce qualification as part of one of the option modules. This qualification is the recognized, required qualification for many areas of the children and young people's workforce and is often a prerequisite for those making applications to work in this sector.
