The MSc in Advanced Residential Child Care has been developed within the Glasgow School of Social Work as one of the objectives of the Centre For Excellence For Looked After Children in Soctlad (CELCIS) . The course is unique in the British Isles in offering a Masters level award specifically in residential child care. Students can expect to contribute to professional leadership, practice development and research and evaluation in their own agencies and beyond.
The course is recognised by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) as a relevant award for registered managers in residential child care.
Contents
Assessment is through a practice-based portfolio. Students need sufficient access to residential child care settings through which they might evidence practice requirements. However, these requirements are broad enough to allow those in external management or training positions to do so.
The course is of modular design and requires attendance at university for five days per single module. Students are expected to complete eight taught modules over a sixteen-month period. A further eight months is allotted for completion of a practice-based dissertation. Students can therefore complete the Masters award in two years, although most take longer to do so.
