YSED610 Working with Children and Young People

10 cp
Prerequisites Nil
Teaching Organisation Students will participate in the equivalent of 24 hours class time in a semester in a range of face-to-face and flexible-delivery approaches.

The aim of this unit is to introduce students to specialised knowledge and skills for working with children and young people in a range of human services contexts. The unit will give students an understanding of theoretical perspectives about child development, attachment and behaviour with particular emphasis on how different life experiences and events such as life transitions, loss and grief, trauma and abuse impact on children and young people. Students will be encouraged to consider some of the dilemmas that may arise when working with children and young people with an emphasis on how workers can facilitate the participation of children and young people in service delivery.
