Human growth and development is part of the required curriculum for social work education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. SCIE has previously published a report on how old age is addressed in this part of the curriculum (Knowledge Review 23). Mental health and disability are also key aspects of human growth and development and Report 32 includes findings from a survey of the teaching and learning of these topics on qualifying social work programmes.
