Our website has further details and link to apply
This part-time distance-learning module is undertaken over 10 weeks starting in February each year. The aim of the module is to provide students with a chance to develop a critical understanding of international child protection practice. It will facilitate critical discussion and expression of informed views on various types of international child protection interventions used by agencies across the world by exploring issues of diversity, anti-oppressive practice, cultural and emotional intelligence and the politics of international policy design. The module will significantly consider service users’ perspectives of the support as well as what does and does not work. It will consider implications and interpretations of the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child and robustly evaluate this legislation in practice. This module also aims to critique and consider partnership collaboration in working across boarders in the best interest of protecting the rights of children.
