The main focus of Family Support is on early intervention and prevention in order to promote and protect the health, well-being and rights of all children, young people and their families, paying particular attention to those who are vulnerable or at risk.

 

This programme aims to enhance the education and skills of professionals working in the field. The programme enables students to develop in-depth understanding of social problems, their causes and policy solutions. It provides a strong foundation in family support theory and its application across a range of practices, roles and disciplines in the human services, as well as practical social science research and evaluation skills required in the sector.
