Working with children and young people On campus |
04 February 2026 |
We know it’s not always possible to bring your students out of the classroom to experience higher education, so we can bring the higher education experience to you. If you would like to arrange a bespoke visit to campus we can extend these talks into longer taster sessions.
Technology and social media have become increasingly ingrained in our everyday lives, including the lives of our children and young people. We consider the potential impact of growing up in the digital age, and how it might influence our education system moving forward. Linked modules • Pearson-Digital Technologies in Early Years Practice
Topics may include:
> an exploration of the professions working with children and young people
> the changing concept of childhood over time and the ethical implications
> child poverty and the impact on education and society
Learn more about professionalism in education through different phases / age-ranges. Students learn more about national professional standards as well as the requirements of training to be an educator in higher education. Linked modules • Pearson-Career Development in the Early Years Sector • Pearson-Working with Parents and Others in Early Years
Social work is perhaps the most misunderstood caring profession in terms of media coverage. Social workers combine their significant legal authority with trained skills in investigating, assessing, and intervening with individuals and families. This talk explores social work in detail and will suit emotionally robust students seeking a challenge. Linked modules • Pearson-Keeping Children Safe
Topics may include:
> exploring the ethics surrounding social work
> research importance and the effect on actions and outcomes
