If the subjects discussed in Nobody's Normal have inspired you to find out more about Open University courses, the following paths of study might help you decide your next move:
Foundation degree in early years (G01) - The foundation degree in early years is suitable for experienced practitioners working directly with young children (0-8 years) in a range of care and education settings, and for teaching assistants specialising in early years. It provides knowledge and skills required for working with children in these settings.
Inclusive education: learning from each other (E243) - This course supports you in engaging with diverse perspectives on inclusive education and in developing your own perspectives. You will address the dimensions of disability, disaffection, and learning difficulty within the context of wider diversity.
Introduction to working with young people (E131) - The course provides an introduction to the key principles and ideas which underpin work with young people, focusing on the age range 13-19. The course defines ‘work with young people’ as meaning professional interventions where the participation of young people is voluntary and the aims are to do with informal education.
Working with children and families (K204) - Spanning the range of health, education, childcare and social care settings, this course will enable you to develop the knowledge and skills to work effectively with children and families.
Working for health (K203) - This course will appeal to anyone who has an interest in health issues, such as the influence of stress, housing and employment on health; the role of complementary medicine; the debate about the relative importance of individual lifestyles and wider public health concerns; and the implications of changes in the NHS.
Care, welfare and community (K202) - This course is for everyone interested in understanding the place of care in today’s society. Bearing in mind the shifting boundaries between health andsocial care, the course examines the issues involved in delivering sensitivecare and support for vulnerable adults.
