SWB306 People, Community and Disability

Social work and human service practitioners must have the relevant professional knowledge and skills to understand the impact of disability experienced by people, families and carers. The experience of disability can universally impact on people of any age or culture at any point during life course transition. This unit provides a platform for developing foundational knowledge and skills to effectively respond to disability issues and challenge social and cultural constructions located in local, national and international community contexts. Because of its importance in preparing you for working with people, their families and carers and communities around disability, this unit is strategically located in the first year.
