The Bachelor’s degree programme in Child Welfare should qualify for relational work with children, youth and their families/network.
Child welfare officers do work related to upbringing, care, learning and/or treatment with focus on the total life situation of children and youth. This activity takes place in different social institutions. Child welfare officers work for example within local child welfare services, child welfare institutions, child- and youth-psychiatric institutions and drug abuse institutions. Other examples of work-relevant places are schools, local environments and leisure activities.
Activity critical of the field in relation to own profession and practice is important. The students will acquire knowledge, attitudes and skills based on research, professional development work and empirical knowledge.
Study period abroad
Possible in the work placement period in the third academic year, autumn 2008.
