Studying this subject will extend your community services case work skills, allowing you to more effectively help children and young people at risk. Integrating theoretical and practical foundations, you will hone your skills to identify, assess and provide appropriate services to vulnerable children and young people in a range of client contexts. From simpler to more complex needs, you will learn to match the provision of advocacy, representation and referral as appropriate. Considering your role as a community services case worker, you will examine your duty of care, and the ethical and legal considerations when working with children and young people. You will analyse, plan and evaluate strategies appropriate for working in group settings to identify issues and support group processes, as well as exploring options for providing group and individual client advocacy and representation. Analysing individual client or group information, you will also identify appropriate case work services.
