[Subject & Grade] Practice Frameworks: Child and Family Distinction Click here to see assessments for this subject [Subject Information] This course exposes course participants to some of the issues professionals face when working with families and children in the welfare system. On completion of the course participants will be able to define the terms "child" and "family" in relation to welfare practice, be familiar with theories and frameworks of practice relevant to working with families and children, and be able to identify, explore and critically assess therapeutic and non-therapeutic interventions with children and families. Course participants will also be expected to become familiar with services available to children and their families in their local community and develop a personal framework of practice that can be applied in the field.

There were two electives offered by CQU, but I wasn't required to do either of them as I had received credit from studies completed at UWS. However, I decided to do both anyway. This was one of them and the assessments were based around a case study and required us to use policy and procedure as though we were employed as Child Safety Officers at the Queensland Department of Child Safety. Originally I took this elective as I did not think it was an area I would ever want to work, but thought knowledge of the area would be beneficial. Having completed the subject, Child Protection is now a possibility for me.
