Introduction
Case management is the dominant service delivery approach used by criminal justice and human services agencies to provide services to individuals and families. This unit introduces and explores case management methodologies, professional communication skills and offender supervision processes and practices. It will explore the history, principles and dimensions of case management and its application within various criminal justice and related settings (e.g. child protection, alcohol and other drugs rehabilitation).
The course will have a strong practice focus with specialist input from practitioners and field trips to agencies. As such, it may be of particular interest to people pursuing qualifications in social work, psychology, counselling, alcohol and other drugs rehabilitation, and correctional offender management. Each lecture and workshop encourages critical reflection on the perspectives and experiences of people engaged in case management as well as their own perspectives, values, skills and experiences, and how these might affect their practice.
