This course will give you a fascinating insight into the way children experience their childhoods and how that experience influences them as they develop. You'll look at childhood from a range of different critical perspectives and explore the factors that influence the childhood experience. 

 

You'll examine issues such as health, early years legislation, and global inequalities in childhood. You'll have the opportunity to work on projects in the local community, applying your developing knowledge by devising practical solutions to real-life problems.
