Working with children, young people, families and communities requires professionals to be aware of issues involving social inclusion, equality and diversity, and where possible challenge and support the development of practice. This module enables you to examine the nature of inclusion and anti-oppressive practice by considering key issues such as class, ethnicity and race, gender and sexuality, disability and Special Educational Needs.
