All learning and assessment is linked to practice in the field and allows the student flexibility to focus on specific areas of interest in their own practice areas or, if able to, move between professional fields in inter-professional exchanges, visits or voluntary work experiences. A key focus will be on developing an understanding of the theories underpinning a range of approaches in practice for managing and supporting people on the edges of or engaged in crime, with the aim of developing a more collaborative action between services in the community.
