Learning Environment

The course will emphasise the creation of a reflective environment that serves as a safe space within which to challenge practice.

Independent study and personal reflection forms an important and integral element of this module serving to link theory and practice.

You will be assessed theoretically; this involves the completion of a written assignment.
