Overview

The BA (Hons) in Social Care Practice in ATU Sligo has been approved by the Social Care Workers Registration Board as attesting to the standard of proficiency required for registration for Social Care Workers. Overview Ireland, amongst other countries, continues to face many social challenges. A career in social care practice is challenging and uniquely rewarding, as graduates can make a real difference in people’s lives. Social Care Practice is a dynamic and continuously developing field that is now a professionally regulated career under CORU, along with other health and social care professions. Throughout this honours degree, students develop their critical thinking skills, have a greater understanding of human interaction and how to respond professionally and informally to the needs of people who use support services. Professional practice placement is integral to this programme, where students complete two 13-week blocks in professional social care practice settings. We support our students in applying and developing their skills and competencies in the field, thus allowing them to emerge as confident, self-aware, experienced, and professional social care practitioners. Placements are dispersed all over Ireland and students are allocated to these based on the learning needs and requirements of the programme. Students are expected to commute distances and/or relocate for this learning experience. This is normal and to be expected in professional training programmes. Role-play is an active and engaging learning strategy within the ATU Sligo Social Care Practice programme in teaching, learning and assessment opportunities. It forms an essential learning activity in this approved programme. Students complete a 13-week professional practice placement in Year 2 and Year 3and a research project on a topic of interest to them in their final 4th year.
