Presentación

The MSc Professional Practice (Vulnerable Person) seeks to encourage students both to increase their knowledge of, and confidence in using, the legal and policy frameworks which are available to reduce vulnerability and to enable them to critically examine these and alternative approaches.

Recent years have seen an increased awareness of how some children and adults can be vulnerable to abuse. As a consequence policies and legislation have been developed to try and safeguard such individuals. However, it is still common for practitioners in health and social care to find themselves in situations where they are supporting vulnerable people.

There are many ways that people can become vulnerable to harm. This raises the questions, “What is vulnerability?”, “Is it inevitable?” and “What are the best strategies for seeking to reduce/eliminate vulnerability?” The course is designed to assist you in critically examining such questions in the context of professional practice
