Students will undertake a variety of units that will provide an in-depth understanding of the health care, social care, and early years sectors and develop their knowledge about the roles, responsibilities, skills and attributes of people who work within these sectors. They will learn about human development across the lifespan and how different factors affect development. Students will also learn about the roles and responsibilities of people who work within the different sectors, including the values that underpin their work. Other parts of the course will explore different physiological disorders and how to diagnose and treat them, as well as the role of psychology within health and social care provision and practice. Core Units Include: Equality, Diversity, and Rights in Health and Social Care; Health, Safety, and Security in Health and Social Care; Anatomy and Physiology in Health and Social Care; Personalisation and a PersonCentred Approach to Care; Safeguarding. Specialist Units Include: The Impact of Long-Term Physiological Conditions; Sexual Health, Reproduction and Early Development Stages; Psychology for Health and Social Care; among others.
5 good GCSE results in grades 9-4, including at least grade 4 in GCSE English, Maths, and Science. Students studying BTEC Tech Award in Health and Social Care should have achieved at least a Level 2 Merit grade overall. Students do not need to have studied Health and Social Care previously to be successful in this course.
Diploma students will undertake 12 units over two years. This course includes external assessment and internal assessment. External assessment will include written exams taken in exam conditions. Internal assessment is coursework that is completed during lesson time and assessed by teachers. While work experience is not a mandatory part of the course, it is expected that students will undertake a work placement in an approved health or social care setting in order to support their learning and applications for university or higher-level apprenticeships.
