You’ll learn how to care for, empower and safeguard young people, developing the skills you need for professional opportunities in settings like health, social care, education and youth justice.
Through field trips, workshops and two work placements, you’ll gain practical experience and deepen your understanding of child development, life transitions, ethics and diversity and relationship-based professional practice.
Because this course is endorsed by the Social Pedagogy Professional Association (SPPA), you’ll graduate with the professional title of Social Pedagogy Practitioner.
During the course, you’ll take a combined education and care approach. You’ll emphasise the responsibility of families and society in the upbringing of children, and the importance of young people taking charge of their lives.
You will get familiar with the range of services for children and young people, benefiting from the expertise of lecturers and professionals from many different disciplines.
