2 Begin to evaluate key documents that have arisen from the Climbie inquiry
3 Begin to analyse the impact of ECM on their work setting

Content:

The module will explore the Victoria Climbie case and how this acted as the motivation for a series of legislative and strategic developments in the lives of children, young people and families.

Students will be expected to express an opinion on the impact of developments and how extended school services have been expected to respond to the developments.

Students will be presented with literature on the most recent developments and consider potential future developments.
