| Name of Programme / Training Resource | Postgraduate MA in Member Care (flexible learning) |
| Type of Training | Individual standalone programme |
| Reference Number | Redcliffe MA Member Care |
| Description | Member Care is a relatively new discipline which trains and equips workers to prepare better for cross-cultural life and ministry and to cope with adjustment pre-, during and post- assignment. Until now, specialists in the discipline have not had the opportunity to train and research these issues intensively. Taught by experts in the field, Redcliffe’s new MA in Member Care recognises the need to have a Biblical basis underpinning practice, as well as understanding cross-cultural perspectives and their effect on individuals and groups. Challenges such as crisis response and trauma debriefing will be addressed, and there is the opportunity to focus on a specific context or Member Care issue through an optional module. The programme is available in flexible learning mode. This is similar to a distance learning format, with supported independent learning at home combined with annual residential summer schools at Redcliffe.
