Course summary

You will apply communication and relationship building skills in a practical way, considering how different factors, including context, can impact on the building of positive relationships. Students will also be introduced to the concept of the person-centred approach which will help with their relationship building skills. Students will begin to understand the implications of diversity in practice and also the effects of discriminatory practice on individuals who require care or support. Throughout the variety of modules you will develop an understanding of different theories and be able to explain them through the use of case studies and real life experiences from your work placement. Students will also learn how to analyse the benefits and weaknesses of these theories which can be applied to context such as health, education and child care.
