The Postgraduate Certificate in Child Care & Protection is intended for a range of professionals who, through their work, engage with children,
young people and families. The programme is intended to be of relevance to professionals across a
range of disciplines including health, education, police, social work and the voluntary sector.
The programme's content is applicable to those who work directly with children and young people
and their families as well as for those working in training, management and strategy roles.
On completion of the Postgraduate Certificate, participants can choose to continue with their studies to achieve the MSc Applied Professional Studies (Child Care & Protection).
In a climate of unprecedented change and challenges in child care and protection, we have introduced an innovative, inter-professional postgraduate course this is dedicated to integrating contemporary practice within theoretical frameworks that encourage critical thinking, analysis and reflexivity.
The programme draws heavily from the experiences of children and families, recognising the value of this within the context of trauma informed frameworks, research, social policy and legislation as well as considering the professional and personal demands of the complex nature of work on professionals.
The Postgraduate Certificate is awarded on satisfactory completion of two modules, one per semester. The options you can choose varies each year, the typical list is shown below:
