A perfect introduction to the health and social care sector.

The UK’s health and social care sector has seen rapid expansion over the last few years, and with that increased demand for the skilled staff necessary in order to provide high quality services in often challenging circumstances.

The Highfield Level 1 Diploma in Introduction to Health and Social Care and Children’s and Young People’s Settings (RQF) has been designed to provide a broad introduction to anyone looking to work in the sector. It provides learners with a solid introduction to health and social care, and can support them in their role. The qualification will give them the knowledge and understanding of key areas that employers will expect them to know, and will introduce them to a variety of different subjects within the health and social care environment, including duty of care, communication, equality and diversity, mental health awareness and personal development.

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
