Overview
The Complex Assessments, Decision Making, Analysis and Risks course at the University of Bedfordshire examines how high‑quality assessments are developed, how risk can be identified, analysed and managed effectively, and how sound decisions are supported through a balance of intuitive and analytical thinking.
It places strong emphasis on avoiding faulty or biased reasoning, recognising the impact of assumptions, and working ethically within diverse and complex contexts.
Features
Through reflective analysis, students are supported to enhance outcomes for service users by making defensible, thoughtful and proportionate decisions. Specifically suited to qualified social workers post‑ASYE, this short course provides a valuable opportunity to pause and reflect away from the fast‑paced demands of frontline practice.
It creates space to unpack how risk and complexity are approached in real‑world settings, enabling participants to consolidate existing knowledge while building deeper insight and professional confidence.
Programme Structure
What you will learn:

- Drawing on current research, the expertise of the social work teaching team and the insights of experienced practitioners, the course offers a rigorous and reflective exploration of assessment, planning and professional judgement.
