Amcanion cyffredinol
Family and Welfare Law is an optional module in the LLB programme. The aim of this module is to enable students to state and apply the rules of English and Welsh family and welfare law dealt with in the course accurately and relevantly. Students will be required to develop a critical appreciation of the particular circumstances – political, social, and cultural – in which Family and Welfare law has developed. Students will be expected to make critical assessments of relevant scholarship, particularly in relation to public policy debates relating to fundamental matters pertaining to Family and Welfare law including the rights of cohabitants, divorce law, same-sex couples, and approaches to child protection. In this context, students will be expected to demonstrate a familiarity with a range of theoretical approaches, including feminist theory and differing perspectives on children’s rights. Students will be expected to compare and contrast Family and Welfare law accurately and relevantly with the equivalent areas of any other legal system where relevant, in particular other common law jurisdictions. Students will be expected, in this respect, to develop an understanding of the different approaches adopted in Scotland, as well as the impact of devolution on Family and Welfare law in Wales. Students will also be expected to develop an understanding of the actual and potential impact of human rights law on Family and Welfare law, including the jurisprudence relating to the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and other relevant international instruments.
