Description:
Students examine the context of safeguarding children and the political and social response to abuse and neglect. This includes a critical examination of outcomes for children in care, involved with child protection services, or accessing mental health supports; the impact of parental problems such as substance misuse, parental conflict, and mental health; and the inter-professional context of working with children. Skills for direct work with children and families within these contexts are also studied.
