The teaching, learning and assessment are linked to the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge for the Children’s Workforce. They are geared towards the development of professional skills through a critical engagement with policy, analysis of organisational structures and reflection on personal practice. Multi-agency working and inter-professional practice have a central focus.

知识和理解通过各种在线学习材料（包括多媒体）传授。如果您有学习困难或残障，可能会影响在线学习，请与我们和您的导师沟通，以便尽可能做出合理调整，以方便您参与。

您将通过批判性地参与阅读材料以及通过在线学习指南中的活动进行反思来发展您的高级知识和理解。您将进行大量适合此学习水平的基于探究的学习，包括一篇扩展的写作。

Online tutorials, virtual learning communities (in tutor groups) and assignment feedback are designed to build on your academic study skills over the life of the course. You will have opportunities to develop your critical analysis of policy and practice. Key to this will be a developing ability to draw good practice out of theoretical frameworks.
