Additional Information:
The acquisition of knowledge of early childhood studies is progressive, and therefore study of the core areas continues and deepens throughout the honours degree. Exposure to the challenges and intricacies of multi-agency and multi-professional practices is a key feature within the revised benchmark statements for Early Childhood Studies (QAA, 2014). This core level 6 module builds on the foundations of the core level 4 module, Pedagogical approaches (Part 1) working with babies, young children and families 4203ECS, and the level 5 option module, Professional approaches within Early Childhood Studies 5205ECS, and has been designed as a natural bedfellow for the level 6 core module, Exploring approaches: working together to support children and families 6201ECS. This option module supports students who wish to engage in further study focused on social work with babies, young children and families.
