The net effect of this is that students, who graduate from the degree, will not be able to use it as a basis to work as a social care worker.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is devastating blow for the students involved, who have spent thousands of euro on this degree in the expectation that it would result in a professional qualification that entitled them to work as social care workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDublin Business School has said they are now working on a revised programme, but what use is this to students who are nearing the completion of their degree \u2013 having invested years, and significant financial resources, in their education?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis country has an acute shortage of social care workers, so it beggars belief that this degree course \u2013 dedicated to this field \u2013 does not qualify graduates to work as social care workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven this course was first established in 2018, Dublin Business School now has serious questions to answer about why it has not been accredited by CORU \u2013 four years later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe college must engage with the students, impacted by this devastating decision, and provide credible solutions to help them realise their ambition of working as social care workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt a minimum, students should be provided with options to allow them to bolster their qualifications, in areas that CORU has deemed the course to be deficient, so that they can work in their chosen field. The college must also engage with students on the issue of refunds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>22 August, 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is devastating blow for the students involved, who have spent thousands of euro on this degree Students in Dublin Business School who have spent significant sums on a degree in Applied Social Care deserve answers about why the course has not been accredited by the regulator, according to Social Democrats Education Spokesperson Gary Gannon.
