Certificate in Supporting Positive Parenting

Programme Purpose

The programme is designed as an Embedded Minor award within the Principal Programme titled the Bachelors of Arts (Hons) in Counselling & Psychotherapy and is designed for learners who wish to develop knowledge and competence appropriate to enhance parenting competence and knowledge of the impact of trauma in developmental and parenting contexts for both personal and professional development. It is anticipated that the programme will be attractive mainly to mature learners from a range of disciplines, including, but not limited to counselling, psychotherapy, social care, nursing, teaching, early childhood education and care, social work or other relevant areas who wish to explore the meaning of trauma and its influence on development and parenting. The programme will be delivered with an emphasis on experiential and inter-communicational modes of learning. It will facilitate graduates with opportunities to develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes of positive parenting to prepare them for working with parents in a range of professional contexts. The programme will afford learners opportunities to develop knowledge of relevant theoretical and conceptual competencies required for engagement in supporting positive parenting. The Programme comprises 15 ECTS of modular content from the fourth stage of the Principal Programme. On completion of this Minor Award, students will be able to demonstrate acquisition of the Skills and Competencies associated with the Minimum Intended Learning Outcomes (MIPLO’s) for the programme, as set out in section 2.3 in the programme validation document.
