one of the finalists in the prestigious ELTon
awards for 2021, in the category of Excellence
in Course Innovation. The awards ceremony is

Helping Matters contains 15 units on topics of
great relevance to social workers in today’s world,
including domestic violence, palliative care, mental
health, worker exploitation, and refugees. 12 units
introduce realistic situations where social workers
may be called on to help foreigners in a
professional setting, while 3 additional units allow

Optional homework activities further reinforce
