Legal Aspects in Social Change

ICM Professional Diploma Unit

Legal Aspects in Social Development aims to develop Learners’ analytical understanding of legal frameworks that influence social development, social welfare provision and community practice. Learners will explore the nature and sources of law, the structure and role of the judiciary and key areas of legislation affecting organisations, employment, welfare, vulnerable groups and social protection.

The unit emphasises the importance of law in promoting social justice, rights, accountability and development and supports Learners in developing competence in interpreting and applying social legislation within professional and community-based contexts.

This unit forms part of the Community Development and Social Change Qualification.

Example Candidate Response Booklet

Example Candidate Response (ECR) Booklets are a source of crucial information for Centres and Candidates as they use real candidate responses. We ask Senior Examiners to comment on five or more responses in terms of why the mark was awarded with commentary about how to improve the answer (if necessary).
