Summary
Why choose this course? Do you want to boost your skills and confidence in working with children in residential care and similar settings? This course provides a unique hands-on learning experience to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to excel in your career. The course is aimed at those working in a residential setting with children at all levels, from first-time practitioners to aspiring managers. It enables you to deepen your understanding of children's needs, critically reflect, and develop your practice using social pedagogy. By applying the learning to your day-to-day work, you will enhance your practice while furthering your career with an advanced qualification.
The course has been co-designed with Lighthouse Pedagogy Trust, a charity that creates children's homes where children can thrive.
This pioneering course draws on the latest best practice and research evidence for children in care, and uses advanced technology for you to practise and develop your skills. You will cover the mandatory Level 3 Residential Childcare Diploma requirements that all children's home practitioners need (so you won't need to do that separately). The course also offers an optional manager pathway, covering the Level 5 Diploma requirements.
This course is endorsed by the Social Pedagogy Professional Association so you will achieve the title Social Pedagogy Practitioner upon successful completion.
Reasons to choose Kingston University - Boost your career with this higher-level qualification.
-
Qualify as a practitioner or manager in a children's home, and gain social pedagogy practitioner status, all within a single qualification.
-
Flexible study through distance learning using enhanced technology.
