BA (Hons) Inclusive Practice and Integrated Working (Progression Route)

Overview

Those working with children, young people and vulnerable adults are increasingly working with a range of professionals, perhaps as part of a multi-agency team or on a regular basis. The increased emphasis on working together as part of an integrated workforce requires an understanding of the roles of these various agencies. These agencies might include staff from education, health, criminal justice, connexions, social care and the voluntary or third sector. Integrated working is where everyone supporting children and young people work together effectively to put the child at the centre, meet their needs and improving their lives and those of their families. This innovative course has been specifically designed to meet the needs of all those from different backgrounds to develop the skills and understanding of working inclusively so they can work really effectively to achieve these improvements.
