The module gives the student the opportunity to focus on the issues of most relevance to their setting, while also increasing their knowledge of theoretical perspectives on multiculturalism, identity, and community.
The range of cultures and communities relevant to each student on this module will vary according to the context of their practice but could include those groups related to ethnicity, religion, sexuality, socio-economic or political as well as alternative or online communities.

Module strands are designed to support the learner through the subject area:
Assessment is through three coursework assignments covering the learning outcomes and will consist of the following (numbers in brackets refer to learning outcomes assessed):
This assignment requires the student to gather existing information, guidance, legislation, research and data, to critically appraise or analyse it and present their conclusions.
Provision and Intervention: a critical review of how different cultural and community groups
experience your setting and how local provision is used to enhance the learning experience.
This assignment requires the student to gather information on their own or others’ practice, to review the basis of that practice and to critique it in the light of available theory.
Reflections on this module: a review of knowledge gained, perspectives changed and a plan for practice development.
This assignment requires the delegate to reflect on their practice as they progress through the module, as well as on specific tasks or interventions they have observed or implemented. They will be expected to have made regular reflective notes as they progress, and to be able to critique these in the light of recent research on critical thinking and reflective practice.
