SAFEGUARDING ADULTS - LAW, POLICY AND PRACTICE - MA

This programme provides an exciting opportunity to study adult safeguarding at Masters level through the lens of law, ethics, policy, and practice. Applying a variety of perspectives, you will interrogate case law, statutes, and law reform processes, academic research, policy documents, work practices, and professional guidance, in order to develop and enhance your critical and practical awareness of adult safeguarding.

Each year we are delighted to have a number of guest speakers to teach on the MA, who are nationally and internationally-renowned experts in their fields. In recent years, for example, we have invited guest speakers such as Alex Ruck Keene, Professor Suzy Braye, Professor Wayne Martin, and Dr Margaret Flynn to contribute to the programme.
