CYP5102 - Violence in the Family

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:
Explain violence in the family using theories and research;
Relate antecedents with the impact of violence in the family;
Examine the effect of domestic violence upon children and young people.

Content:

In this module, students will consider the impact that violence in the family has on the person experiencing it and also the impact on others living in the household – particularly children and young people. They will be expected to analyse different theories and responses to this social problem. Students will learn about family violence in the context of culture and ethnicity. They will also learn about the experience of violence across the life course, from babies to the elderly. Students will have the opportunity to make clear links between theory and practice, in the national and international context.

Learning and Teaching Information:

This module will be taught using a mixture of lectures, seminars, workshops, tutorials and online learning, some of which will be student-led. Teaching and learning will be research informed and responsive to the needs of students. Students could be expected to prepare for the sessions by reading set texts and completion of tasks set in class or via the VLE and will be expected to take part in a wide range of learning activities. Students may be required to prepare and present brief presentations as the basis for discussion in seminars or workshops. These activities will enable students to be prepared for dealing with family violence in practice.
