This module will equip students with the knowledge and understanding needed to support the health and wellbeing of children, young people and families. Working in partnership is a key element of practice when supporting the health and wellbeing of children, young people and families. The concepts of power sharing, consultation and joint ways of working are essential for effective service provision. Students will analyse how professionals need to understand the importance of promoting autonomy with individuals when supporting health and wellbeing. They also need to be aware of their own roles and responsibilities and how they relate to others within the sector.
