Overview

Through the Working with Children, Young People - Families course from the University of Gloucestershire you'll learn about human development and the impact of a variety of issues which may impact wellbeing. Then study the process of assessment and intervention in order to provide early support when others need help.

You’ll apply your learning on placement and reflect on your experiences to develop your skills as a practitioner for children, young people and families. You’ll examine how an individual grows and develops, as well as the potential factors that might make an impact on them. Within this context, you’ll explore how practitioners engage and communicate with children, young people and families – while maintaining a professional outlook at all times.

It’s expected that throughout the course you’ll be in a placement – applying your knowledge and learning appropriately, becoming confident in your practice and ready for your next step.

Career opportunities:

This course has been developed in collaboration with local and regional stakeholders who want to develop routes into early intervention work with children, young people and families.

These stakeholders/organisations sit within the statutory, education, voluntary, community and enterprise sectors – providing industry-first knowledge and skills that you will develop and practice in your future career paths.

Graduates from this course have a range of career options, including early help and intervention work with children, young people and families, family support worker, pastoral support in schools, housing support workers and advocacy work.
