ASP111 The History of Social Policy

This module provides students with an introduction to the development of social policy in Britain from the 1600s to the beginning of the twentieth century. It examines the responses of governments to social problems of the time, and to trace the foundations upon which the British welfare state was built. The module will cover conceptual, theoretical, policy and practice perspectives of the history of social policy. Key topics include: Pre-Victorian social policy (1601-1834); Victorian social welfare problems; Victorian politics, values and social change; poverty and evidence; the birth of social administration, social divisions and social reform; concerns of national efficiency and the legacy of Victorian social policy.
ASP257 Disability Policy

This module aims to introduce students to contemporary social policies affecting disabled people. It explores how those impacts have been felt, in the lives of disabled people ¿ and also how they reflect prevailing political ideas. It looks at the impacts of human rights and anti-discrimination legislation, and at the ongoing struggles to identify and address the specific challenges faced by disabled people. The module discusses medical and social models of disability, and the significance of the Disability Movement.
ASP300 Dissertation

The aim of this module is to provide students with an opportunity to analyse and report on a social issue of their own choosing.
ASP305 Advocacy, Rights and Representation

Advocacy has been increasingly recognised within Social Policy as being a means of securing and exercising the rights of citizens, particularly those subject to discrimination, marginalisation and abuse. This module explores conceptual, ethical, policy and practice perspectives of advocacy. The influence of social movements in the development of advocacy is considered, along with official policy responses of Government and professionals. Whilst the focus is upon developments in the UK, examples are also drawn from North America and Scandinavia. The module examines advocacy with a variety of social groups, including children, disabled adults and older people; settings such as care homes and hospitals; and situations such as instances of abuse and making decisions or choices.
ASP315 Social Policy in an Ageing World

This module explores policies and provision for an ageing population. It begins with an overview of the theoretical explanations of the experience of ageing and takes a critical social gerontological approach towards the analysis of policy. The impact of ageism and other forms of discrimination is explored. Substantive areas of policy (e.g. mobility and transport, safe-guarding in residential contexts, housing) are scrutinized in the UK and Welsh contexts, and comparatively with other countries.
ASPM06 Older People, Citizenship and Participation

This module provides a critical analysis of the citizenship and participation of older people. It covers contemporary debates about human rights, social justice, equality, inclusion and discrimination in relation to older people. It also explores competing discourses around service user involvement and ways of ensuring that the diverse voices of older people are heard at all levels of policy and decision making in practice.
