Additional Information:
The first task of this module is to critically unpick the concept of 'risk' and the debates that surround the ways in which it has been used in policy and practice responses with children and young people. This module will also look at wider contemporary perspectives surrounding children and young people who are 'at risk' in various contexts and how this influences the legal, policy and practice responses to these issues. Finally, students will critically assess how the system itself can pose a 'risk' to children and young people and begin to consider proposals for reform.
