Things have moved on since the paragraph below about activities at Kingston University.
Two new courses have been approved to begin in September 2009. They are a Foundation Degree and an MA in Child-Centred Interprofessional Practice. By “child” is meant anyone from birth to 19years, so these courses are for people who work in a profession or in a voluntary capacity with babies, children or young people. The courses are designed to help pratitioners, strategic managers and volunteers at all levels understand each others’ work and collaborate effectively, whether as individuals or as members of interprofessional teams. Attendance for the courses is over twelve or so weekends a year, so you can take the courses while working full-time. If you would like to know more go to www.kingston.ac.uk/education
We are also developing research ideas to complement the courses. One idea currently being explored is the possibility of discussing with young people from different cultural and religious traditions the values of the FAIR framework outlined in my book Working Ethics – how to be fair in a culturally complex world.
