The SVQ is assessed in the workplace. Examples of the settings or centres in which the SVQ is likely to be delivered include: the NHS, private healthcare providers, care settings for children and young people, and training centres.
SVQs are based on National Occupational Standards. SQA works in partnership with other organisations to ensure that National Occupational Standards (NOS) are relevant to the current and future needs of Scottish industries.
This qualification is available through employers and training providers.

Why deliver this qualification
The Level 3 SVQ in Social Services (Children and Young People) at SCQF level 7 is a re-accredited qualification.
This SVQ 3 in Health and Social Care (Children and Young People) is mandatory for those people who are employed in the health and social care sector in a supervisory role. The qualification is work based and has a structured, but flexible, delivery.
Upon successful completion, learners will gain an international recognised qualification which guarantees that they have the skills, knowledge and abilities required to carry out their role successfully.
As assessment is normally carried out in the workplace this minimises any time learners would need to be away from their work and allows candidates to generate evidence based on the actual work they are carrying out.
Candidates can progress from the Level 3 SVQ in Social Services (Children and Young People) at SCQF level 7 to other appropriate SVQs up to and including level 4. Candidates may transfer across to the adult sector by undertaking some additional units in SVQ Social Services and Healthcare. The progression route for each candidate will depend on their job role and level of responsibility.
The SVQ can be offered in any of the following modes:
- full-time
- part-time
The achievement of other qualifications such as Childcare qualifications at HNC level can contribute towards gaining underpinning knowledge for this award.

Access
Entry is at the discretion of the centre.

Progression
The level 3 award could provide progression to:
- Candidates can progress from the Level 3 SVQ in Social Services (Children and Young People) at SCQF level 7 to other appropriate SVQs up to and including level 4 as long as their job role is appropriate to the requirements of the level 4 qualification, ie a management role within the care sector.
- Candidates could also progress to other SVQs, eg management, or to further education courses, such as HNC/HND programmes.
- Candidates may transfer across to the adult sector by undertaking some additional units in SVQ Social Services and Healthcare. The progression route for each candidate will depend on their job role and level of responsibility.
