We focus on children, families and the diverse communities in which they live. We enable you to make sense of and tackle the challenges which are faced by some of the most vulnerable groups within society.

Our extensive portfolio of modules, training and courses cover children's and neonatal nursing, social work, counselling, and social policy. Our courses are tailored to the needs of all healthcare professionals, not only those working in specific healthcare settings.

We can help you update your practice, develop new skills, undertake research, change your career and participate in critical contemporary social debates.

Our staff are dynamic and committed researchers, which means that teaching is underpinned by the latest knowledge and evidence. Key areas of expertise include migration, anti-social behaviour, safeguarding, localism and social pedagogy. To find out more about ongoing projects please visit our research page.
