This course has been designed to link closely to the National Occupational Standards for Social Services: children and young people, and also for Playwork at SCQF 6. The course can provide some of the underpinning knowledge that is required for the Occupational Standards and also experience of the practical skills required to work at this level in the sector. This is particularly evidenced in areas such as ‘facilitating play for children and young people’, ‘helping to keep children and young people safe’, ‘supporting children and young people’s development and wellbeing’ and ‘reflecting on your own practice’.
Content includes:
Development and wellbeing of children and young people; Play in early learning and childcare; and, working in early learning and childcare.
Some other units may include: contemporary families; First aid; and, rights and protection for children and young people.
