About this Unit
In this unit students build on their understanding of the legal, administrative and institutional contexts for decision making in care and protection work. Students critically examine current policy and practice models and tools for decision making in terms of the complexity and ambiguity which characterises care and protection work. Decision making processes are analysed and strategies formulated in relation to the obstacles and benefits of partnership with consumers and agencies.
