Course overview of Understanding Child Development
Understanding child development is an essential task for social workers, foster carers and every member of the children’s workforce. A good understanding of normal child development equips workers to promote healthy development and enables them to recognise signs that a child or young person is not thriving or may need protecting from harm. This course provides that understanding and enables learners to relate this to their role in working with children and young people.
