Welfare and community

Welfare and comunity issues have always been important to the student movement - and their job has never been harder to do. Complex problems will give rise to difficult decisions in determining priorities, balance and the needs of different student groups, and challenging damaging behaviours and attitudes. In this brand new course, specifically designed for welfare and community officers, we aim to give officers in these roles the chance to explore the essential issues, and gain the key skills, knowledge and networks they need to address them in the year ahead.
