The Department for Children and Families

Inspiring change for children

We cross the traditional disciplines of social work, social care and health, teaching and psychology with our multi-disciplinary courses by offering flexible modes of delivery so that students can balance study, work and family commitments. 

We are committed to empowering our students as advocates for children and families; to enrich their lives in diverse circumstances and communities by creating an inclusive and dynamic learning community within which staff and students research collaboratively and learn together.
