Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides Bachelor of Physical and Health Education (EBPHEB) students with opportunities to build on their prior learning to: (i) identify and define the key social problems confronting today's welfare personnel and the consequent social purpose and distinguishing functions of 21st century welfare work; (ii) develop an understanding and awareness of culturally competent practice through recognition of the experiences of 'difference', with particular reference to Indigenous Australians; (iii) understand diversity, particularly as this relates to the critical tradition's emphasis on marginalisation/exclusion; (iv) analyse the development of welfare practice and the pursuit of social justice.
