Caring for Vulnerable Children

We hope to inspire and challenge you to think differently about how we, as a society, care for vulnerable children and the future lives we help them to create.

In this free online course we’ll help you to explore some of the approaches involved in caring for vulnerable children.

We’ll consider what we mean by risk and vulnerability, as well as how we define good parenting. We’ll think about how children grow and develop and how we can provide them with security through meaningful relationships and attachments.
