Social Sciences & Social Work
The small team of staff within Social Work have a wealth of experience working with experts by experience and vulnerable populations. Their research aligns with the competencies developed and topics taught on the BSc Social Work, including social policy, responsible and accountable professionalism, and being a creative practitioner.
The research in social work is undertaken with the ethos of social inclusion, fitting within the new Social Inclusion Research Centre: Cyfiawnder, launched in September 2022. Take a look at the Cyfiawnder web pages for the latest research on minimum pricing of alcohol and other related social policy work.
