This knowledge will underpin the student's own knowledge and practice contributing to improving the health and well-being of all children and young people.

This module aims to provide students with opportunities to consider physical, social and emotional aspects of children's and young people's health, well-being and development, explore factors which affect these and, raise awareness of evidence-based practices that contribute to optimising children's and young people's well-being.
