Professional Practice with Children and their Families
Modular Route supporting Continuing Professional Development
We are pleased to be able to add a modular route to our postgraduate continuing professional development (CPD) activity in Professional Practice with Children and their Families.
This CPD route is available to qualified practitioners and their employers in order to provide greater flexibility and choice for study at post-qualifying level. The modules are all also available as part of the suite of awards we currently offer, and you will be able to use the credits you achieve by completing them successfully to build future awards which will map to the existing and any proposed PQ frameworks. You will thus have the opportunity to complete an approved and accredited award over a longer period of time.
As with our other CPD full awards, the modules will be taught by academic staff with strong and substantial professional experience, and whose teaching content reflects the best and latest research. Our intention is to combine creativity and flexibility with rigorous academic approaches to learning, in order to develop practitioner students' skills and knowledge and to help support and enable them to deliver first class service quality to children and their families.
What studying under this modular arrangement gives:
- The chance to enhance your specialist expertise and knowledge
- The opportunity to undertake post-qualifying studies at your own pace and with students from a range of practice backgrounds within the region
- A range of transferable skills and knowledge that will be of benefit not only to you in career terms, but also to the organisation for whom you work
- Advanced teaching, supported by experts in the field, that offers the specialised understanding of the particular issues, methods and skills necessary both to understand and undertake work with children and their families
- The opportunity to think about and critically reflect on your current practice and ways to improve your contribution, whether as a practitioner or a front line manager, to the service you offer
