The NHS employs 1.4 million people, social care, 1.6 million and together one in ten of the working population. This course will provide learners with the opportunity, through applied learning, to develop the core specialist knowledge, skills and understanding required in the health and social care sector. This qualification isn’t just about caring for babies or the elderly and the ill; it will provide learners with the tools to progress into higher education on a health and social care-related programme such as Health and Social Care. Learners will take either six or twelve units (depending on whether they are taking the single or double qualification). These units will give learners an understanding of health and social care in the wider contexts of different environments and settings where care takes place, the importance of effective communication and legislation in health and social care, and how to deliver a person-centred approach in the care given. Students will learn by applying their skills, knowledge and understanding to tasks or activities that are relevant to what happens in health, social care and childcare workplaces and demonstrate how to be proactive in promoting healthy lifestyles and support to individuals within the sector. Having an appreciation of what happens in the workplace will also help prepare learners for continuing their education in this sector.
At least a Level 2 Pass in Health and Social Care or Childcare if taken. Grade 4 in English.
Whether on the single or double programme, students will be assessed mainly through written assignments and some externally set examinations. All assessments are graded Pass, Merit or Distinction.
