This module builds on the learning from other ITS modules and continues to provide foundational personal and professional development throughout the second and third years of the programme.
The module will link to the safeguarding module and will focus on the topic of ‘positive interventions’ discussing notions of independence, self-determination, ‘care’ and the limits of personal autonomy. Risk will be explored in the context of positive, empowering practice. There will be a specific focus on work with children and adults who are disabled those with mental health diagnoses, older people and parents/carers. Both this module and the safeguarding module will be supported by a number of skills days.
