Working with Children, Young People and Families

About this course

Working with children, young people, and families is a degree rooted in values of social justice and equality, examining the lives of young people and the social and institutional contexts that shape their wellbeing and opportunities. It draws on sociology, psychology, social policy, and education to develop a thorough understanding of childhood and youth as social experiences, and it prepares graduates to work effectively and ethically with children, young people, and families in a range of professional settings. The discipline asks serious questions about rights, vulnerability, power, and what it means to provide genuine support. At Birmingham City University, this three-year full-time degree equips you with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for professional practice in settings including education, social care, health, youth work, and community organisations.
