Understanding Child Development 0-6 Years
Description
This resource has been designed to support social workers and social work students in their work with children and families by providing instant access to information on child developmental norms, relevant theoretical frameworks and reflective case studies. The resource can also be used by professionals working in education, early years/childcare, youth and community work, health and social care and parents/care givers.
The Understanding Child Development Apps have been updated and redeveloped during 2022-24 to provide free responsive digital learning resources that can be accessed anywhere, anytime and on any device to ensure social workers and social work students have access to this important content.
The Northern Ireland Social Care Council has worked in partnership with content authors; Professor Mary McColgan, OBE, Ulster University (UU), Emerita Professor of Social Work, Professor Anne Campbell, MBE, Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and Paul McConville, Social Services Officer, Child Safeguarding and Child Protection, Department of Health (DOH).
In 2017, the Apps won first place in the husITa Best Human Services App Award 2017, beating off stiff competition from the USA and Australia. This award recognised the Social Care Council Apps as outstanding software applications that support husITa’s mission to promote the ethical and effective use of information technology to better serve humanity.
