What an amazing journey we have been on together Mother and Daughter at very different stages in our lives studying our levels 4,5 and now our BA (Hons) in Integrated Working with Children and Families and graduating together.


We have really enjoyed the course even though we both had big wobbles and we weren’t sure we would be able to finish it with having family issues and then health related worries. But we pushed through with the encouragement of lovely Angela Hodgkins and Michelle Malomo who have been the most supportive lecturers always there for us when we’ve needed help and kind words.


We have both grown so much in our practice in our workplace (where we both work together) and the change in our practice from this course is visibly seen.
Thank you all so much!
