Course summary

Why choose this course?
Are you interested in supporting the mental health, wellbeing and inclusion of children and young people with additional needs from 0 to 25 years?

Are you already working or hoping to work in the special educational needs sector? Are you looking for a course that allows you work-life balance while you study? This degree enables you to combine academic study with work-based learning, develop your practice and become part of a strong network.

During the course, you will need to be working or volunteering for at least 16 hours per week within an early years setting, school, college, alternative provision, charity sector or local government. It is also relevant to those working in equality, diversity, and inclusion roles within charities, local authority or organisations that support or advocate for learning and development.

If you are not currently working in the sector, we can provide you with a suitable placement.

The course covers equality, diversity and inclusion, mental health, and wellbeing. You will explore the requirements of the Special Educational Need and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice and consider the voice, needs and rights of the child or young person.

You'll study developmental theories, systems to support learning, legislative frameworks that govern practice, multi-professional perspectives and working with families and carers. You will also explore current issues such as sustainability.

You'll develop reflective skills to enable you to consider how to improve practice. In your final year, you will collaborate with stakeholders on a small research project based around your own area of interest.

You will study one day a week at our Kingston Hill campus.
