Candidates understand why people use care services, and develop the knowledge required for working in care practice settings such as health care and social care. Active learning and personalisation is promoted by giving candidates opportunities to investigate care issues and topics of their own choice.
Centres need to apply for approval before delivering Care qualifications for the first time.
For approval to deliver Care subjects, centre staff should have occupational knowledge and/or experience. Ideally, they should have experience of working in the Care sector or experience of delivering Care qualifications, and should be knowledgeable about SSSC Codes of Practice, National Care Standards and relevant legislation. It would also be beneficial if staff have, or are working towards, assessor qualifications, or are GTC registered.
