30-Hours Diploma in Child Development: Play Therapy
Credit hours
3
Play is one of the main ways children make sense of their world, and learners explore how it is used therapeutically. The units combine child development and psychology with play therapy theory, play-based techniques, building therapeutic relationships, and supporting children through trauma and anxiety. Ethics and safeguarding are included. It offers knowledge for educators and carers, not a licence to practise.
