This programme builds directly on the visions of the recent 2020 Children and Young People's Workforce Strategy, which seeks to ensure that everyone who works with children and young people are ambitious for young people, excellent in their practice, committed to partnership and are respected and valued as professionals. This programme is unique in the South West due to its specific focus on inequality and diversity, in particular issues of gender, race and ethnicity, sexuality, social class and disability. You will draw on and inform multi-agency work with children and your people across a range of professional contexts including schools, social work, the voluntary sector and the criminal justice system. You will be given the opportunity to develop an individual research project which address the needs of your employerorganisation. The programme will encourage you to reflect on an area of your own practice in light of the theories, methods and policies discussed in your study. You will be encouraged to join the Education, Culture and Identity postgraduate research group to further develop your research interests and conversations. It will be possible for you to progress onto our EdD Doctoral Programme and PhD programmes.
