Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.
In this module, students will be given the opportunity to evaluate the range of problems that families can face whilst children are growing up. As each problem is explored within an ethical framework, current research and theory will be applied; students will be encouraged to compare political and media rhetoric with clear research findings around these issues. The determination of factors of risk and vulnerability within the family context will be looked at and the role of the state in protecting the vulnerable. The conflict between individual rights and freedoms and collective responsibilities for families will be critically assessed. Students will also critically assess the impact of leadership and management in the workplace.
