They will examine the role of professionals in this field and their responsibilities, as well as the impact of multi agency working in this field.

Students will examine data related to the case of a particular child, young person or adult with complex needs and the work of those caring for them. They will evaluate the impact of this support in light of other reading in the appropriate area. They are not expected to gather the data themselves, but use a range of ‘real life’ information provided for them.
