NCFE CACHE Level 1 Certificate Introduction to Health, Social Care & Childrens and Young Peoples Settings

This course is a comprehensive program introducing students to the fundamentals of these critical sectors. The course typically covers a range of topics such as basic health and social care principles, communication skills and an overview or working with children and young people. It serves as a valuable foundation for those considering a future in healthcare or social services, providing insights into the diverse aspects of these professions. The Sullivan Centre incorporates practical learning experiences to enhance students’ understanding and prepare them for potential pathways in health and social care.

NCFE CACHE Level 1 Award Introduction to Health, Social Care & Childrens and Young Peoples Settings

In addition to the Certificate, students can also access the Award in this course offered. The Award is designed to provide students with a focused introduction to these crucial fields. The Award recognises the successful completion of a subset of the broader curriculum, emphasising key concepts relevant to health, social care and working with children and young people. While slightly more condensed than the certificate, the award still equips students with fundamental knowledge and skills, making it a valuable choice for those exploring career paths in these sectors during their Key Stage 4 education. Practical applications and insights are likely integrated to enhance the learning experience.
