The module aims to develop an appreciation, through a range of guest professionals of the working practices of contemporary agencies who work with children, young people and their families. It will l also examine the professional relationships between families and agencies in a range of contexts.
It also provides practical experiences, of issues involved in working with children, young people and their families, as students will undertake a placement which aims to offer first -hand experience of a work or voluntary setting and develop an awareness of the demands of that setting. It will provide opportunities to interact and develop transferable skills in communication and professional behaviour in a formal or informal environment. It also gives students an opportunity to reflect on your own career path.

The module will include: • an analysis of issues related to developing professional partnerships, based on social-work framework of analyzing knowledge, values and skills, and a study of the roles and responsibilities of key people providing services to children, young people and families. During the first semester: • a range of multi-agency professionals will address the students about the development of successful partnerships with children and young people and their families. During semester two: • students will find themselves a placement and undertake a period of work in an appropriate setting. This could take the form of a day a week, half a day a week or a series of activities of varied duration. Evidence of attendance will be required.
