Provides the perfect start in health and social care.

The health and social care sector is one of the biggest in the UK, and expected to get even bigger with demographic changes and an ageing population.

The Highfield Level 1 Certificate in Introduction to Health and Social Care and Children’s and Young People’s Settings (RQF) has been made to give learners an introduction to the sector and support those already working in it, giving them the knowledge required to get their career off to a solid start.

The qualification covers essential areas such as duty of care, communication, equality and diversity, mental health awareness and personal development. Employability units can also be included with this qualification.

Topics include:

An introduction to the prevention and control of infection
An introduction to communication in childrens’ services and adult social care settings
Principles of personal development in childrens’ services and adult social care settings
Introduction to mental health awareness
