Overview
Students on the Adult Support and Protection course at University of Stirling may come from a health and social care, social work, occupational therapy or housing background and may be working in statutory services or the voluntary and independent sector. The pace of change in law, policy and service structures creates complexity. Our courses offer a valuable space where health and social care practitioners and managers can engage with that complexity; widen their knowledge of relevant theory and contemporary research and share practice experiences with professionals from across Scotland.
