PDC99014 - Working with Perpetrators: The Impact of Violence on Child Development

Course Details

Course Summary

In this micro-credential you will explore the complex ways in which children are affected by violence.  In particular, you will learn about the tactics of control and abuse of power that children experience through domestic and family violence.  Where there is violence in the home, it influences each stage of child development, causing direct and indirect harms across the lifespan.  This micro-credential aligns with a knowledge component required of facilitators (at all levels) and Victim Advocates to help them comply with the requirements of Queensland’s Department of Justice and Attorney-General for funded perpetrator intervention services.

This online micro-credential provides a non-creditable micro-credential and digital badge which can be shared to your social networks and displayed in your professional portfolio.

Course Structures

Study Mode Definitions

Course content is studied through a number of means including the use of online discussion forums, electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers and teachers, and receiving study materials online/electronically. Work integrated learning, including placements, may be included in some courses.
  • On-campus: Students studying in on-campus mode typically are expected to attend and participate in regular, structured on-campus teaching and learning activities throughout the University’s academic term. These activities may include lectures, tutorials, workshops and practice, online or other activities and normally will be timetabled at a CQUniversity campus or approved delivery site.
