"summary": "The Working with Children and Families course provides the knowledge and skills you need to work with children and families in a range of settings.\n\nYou’ll examine issues that influence the lives and well-being of children and families in today’s society. Your studies will cover a range of services, systems, policies and work practices that support children and families. To reflect the reality of the workplace, you’ll explore multi- agency working and understand the roles of different professionals in early years, education and social work.\n\nA key feature of the Working with Children and Families course is attending a work placement. Alongside your academic studies, this allows you to see how theory, policy and practice relate to each other, and will prepare you for a range of career opportunities. Career paths usually include work in schools, children’s charities, integrated children’s centres, and social care settings, as well as postgraduate study in education or social work.\n\nThroughout the Working with Children and Families course, you’ll study key debates on theories of child development and childhood. You’ll explore children’s rights and how these are incorporated into policy and practice in England and Wales, as well as international perspectives and the fundamentals of social pedagogy.\n\nYour studies will help you understand the role of professionals in safeguarding children and young people, as well as equality and diversity, and services that support children and families. You will also develop an understanding of leadership and collaborative approaches in theory and practice.\n\nAs well as integrated work experience, you’ll have further opportunities to improve your knowledge and skills. These include additional courses such as first aid, and a Safeguarding Children qualification (Level 1).\n\nThe Working with Children and Families course is based at our Newport City campus. Our Newport Campus is right at the heart of the city, overlooking the River Usk, and is easy to get to by car, bus or train.",
