About

This Disability, Mental Health and Child Protection - Towards New Understanding - Micro-credential from Trinity College Dublin provides learners with an understanding of key issues in disability, mental health and child protection. 

Overview

The Disability, Mental Health and Child Protection - Towards New Understanding - Micro-credential from Trinity College Dublin provides learners with an understanding of key issues in child protection related to disability and/or mental health. Uptake of current best evidence, insights from seminal inquiry reports, innovations and insights from disability and mental health theory, research, and activism as well as practice wisdom will be instrumental in achieving this.

What will I do? 

  • The micro-credential will begin by introducing students to the historical context of disability, mental health and child protection in Ireland. This will involve exploring the history, legislation, policies and practices of child protection and welfare, mental health and disability. 
  • This will be complemented by provision of important foundational knowledge in the area such as the different recognised kinds of abuse as well as the meaning of common terminology. 
  • Central will be child protection and welfare practice for children with disabilities including extra-familial abuse and child victimisation, as well as parental disability and child protection, and perpetration of abuse by individuals labelled as having a disability. Particular concerns and challenges for practice will be explored, such as issues with conducting authoritative parenting capacity assessments, working well in multidisciplinary contexts, and capturing credible accounts from individuals with verbal inarticulacy or intellectual disability.

Programme Structure

On successful completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to: 

  • Critically discuss examples from the history of key disability, mental health, child welfare and child protection contexts, issues, and practices.

  • Apply key insights from research, literature, and inquiry reports to critically inform practice in various settings around issues of child protection, mental health and disability. 

  • Evaluate unique strengths and risk factors associated with disability and mental health in a child protection context. 

  • Assess the various needs of children and parents with disabilities and/or mental health issues in a child protection context.

  •  Apply a theoretical framework to understand disability, mental health and child protection issues.
