SOWK19024  Practice Frameworks: Child & Family

This course exposes course participants to some of the issues professionals face when working with families and children in the welfare system. On completion of the course participants will be able to define the terms “child” and “family” in relation to welfare practice, be familiar with theories and frameworks of practice relevant to working with families and children, and be able to identify, explore and critically assess therapeutic and non-therapeutic interventions with children and families. Course participants will also be expected to become familiar with services available to children and their families in their local community and develop a personal framework of practice that can be applied in the field.
