Supporting People with Specific Needs in Social Care

This course provides delegates working in Social Care with a good understanding of some of the main conditions and illnesses that affect people who use adult social care services.

This course really is a must-have for anyone new to care, however, we have also found that experienced social care staff can gain new information with tips on how to support people with these conditions. It can act as a reminder of the why’s, do’s and don’ts of supporting people with these conditions in a person-centred way.

Group discussion and shared experiences are of real value in this course.

Assessment and Certification:

Through learning and discussing and with some exercises to reinforce learning, delegates will leave the course with a greater understanding of the content and how to support people who use adult social care services with those specific needs. Certificates are valid for 3 years.
