The Foundation Degree in Children, Young People and Families is validated by Lancaster University and is aimed specifically at individuals who wish to work in a variety of settings with children, young people and/ or families. The FdA intends to develop your knowledge of the theoretical principles which underpin child development, youth work and family studies in a variety of contexts. You will examine a range of subjects such as safeguarding, risk and resilience, services and interventions, and managing teams. Such knowledge will provide you with the opportunity to develop holistically as a practitioner and to explore the range of settings and services which benefit from understanding such a wide ranging yet comprehensive subject.
