Advocacy (BA)
Program Available at Carmarthen Campus
Advocacy courses have been developed at UWTSD to ensure that the capacity of individuals to act independently and make their own free choices, empowerment and the voice of the individual and/or community is promoted in all aspects of society.
The debate around social policy and service provision has highlighted the need for professionals who are able to appreciate how social policies are continuously reconstructed and changed and the contribution to these processes from those who come from different value positions and different social, cultural and economic backgrounds.
With the introduction of the Social Services and Well-being Act (Wales) 2014, there is a statutory requirement to hear the voice of services uses through the use of advocates, both instructed and non-instructed.
This program has been designed as sound preparation for students who wish to enter professions working in diverse fields, for example:
- Community education
- Educational settings
- Health and/or social care
- Police services
- Probation service
- Social enterprise
- Teaching
- Union representation
- Voluntary organizations
- Youth support
Available Exit Points:-
- Advocacy (BA): 3 years
- Advocacy (DipHE): 2 years
- Social Studies (CertHE): 1 year
