SVQ 3 Health and Social Care (Children and Young People) at SCQF level 7

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.

It is a requirement by the SSSC that everyone employed in this capacity should be working towards achievement of this qualification

This SVQ is suitable for:

• individuals who are currently in employment and who wish to obtain a formal qualification
• people who are practioners in early years settings and residential/daycare for children and young people.
• individuals who often work without direct supervision, or on their own, perhaps in the service user's home.

Access

Entry is at the discretion of the centre.

Candidates should be in a job or placement where they are carrying out relevant tasks and responsibilities which allow then to gather the required evidence.

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.
