Course description
This course covers theories and models relating to human development over the complete span of human life - from conception to old age. It examines the application of this knowledge to social work practice - with a particular focus on the wellbeing of children and young people - and includes consideration of the effects of diversity and adversity on people throughout the lifespan.
