The first block course creates a bridge between Learning Outcome 1 and Learning Outcome 3. The main focus is on LO2 and the learning of a group of
models for practice. However, skills of critical reflection and knowledge are developed through exploring various sociological theories.
The three days will involve lectures, video analyses, academic skills preparation and assessment discussion throughout.
