Health and Social Care is ideal for people who are interested in social work, health care and childcare.

It provides a practical, real-world approach and develops the specific knowledge and skills students need to work successfully in the care industry. These include; working with a range of service users from babies and toddlers, through to adults with specific needs and the elderly; developing project management and independent learning skills by exploring provision of services in the sector; and communication skills to support people with a range of needs.

This course aims to give students a broader understanding and knowledge of Health and Social Care careers, developing the skills and qualities valued by employers and further education colleges
