WHY TAKE THIS COURSE
The course has the objective of supporting the student in examining the origins of regulation with Irish service provision and to review current regulation that is informing human service provision.
The student will also be facilitated to reflect on their own role as a manager in respect to the regulatory process and to prepare effectively for and undertake an evaluation of their own area of responsibility while finally designing an action plan in order to enhance the service.
