Why choose this course?

Social care refers to the wide-ranging assistance given to adults and children with care and support needs.

The main groups who receive social care include older people, especially those who have become frail or who are living with dementia, people with a learning disability, and people with mental health issues. However, there are also many groups in the community that need social care support such as substance users, people experiencing violence within the family/home, and other community groups who experience inequality, such as women in some BAME communities. Social care services work alongside health, housing and public health services to ensure peoples wider needs are met.

This specialist award in social care is designed for those who want to develop a career within the expanding social care sector. It offers opportunities to study issues in contemporary society such as poverty, domestic violence and abuse, ageing populations, mental health, drug dependency and substance misuse, youth crime, homelessness and social exclusion. You will understand the political landscapes in which social care is delivered and the policy responses.

The teaching is delivered by lecturers passionate about social care. Lecturers have significant experience working with a diverse range of people with differing care and support needs, for example, specialist children services, drug services, older peoples care, probation and criminal justice, mental health, learning disability, adult services, domestic violence and abuse, dementia, and housing.
