Family Support and Wellbeing - BA Hons (Salford University)

This degree considers new therapeutic approaches to working with families, with a particular emphasis on working holistically with hard-to-reach families.

The programme is suitable for those in a wide variety of roles working directly with children, young people, and their families, including family/parent support workers and parenting practitioners, residential workers, leaving care workers, learning mentors, early intervention project workers, 'nurture group' workers, respite carers, and those working in children's/family centres.

This qualification will appeal to those:

• seeking a work-based/supported route through to BA(Hons) and who have the support of their employer/setting
• wanting to develop specialist knowledge, skills and reflective capacity for improving therapeutic practice with children and their families
• wanting to integrate a programme of study alongside their work/volunteering, and which recognises and validates work-based learning
• needing a flexible, accessible and competitively priced degree programme
