Overview

Through this course you will increase your awareness of the extent to which social policy affects all of us in our everyday personal and working lives.

It builds on your knowledge by considering substantive areas of social policy, in particular policies on health, community care and housing, and encourages you to think more broadly about the interrelationships between different aspects of social policy and the range of providers of welfare in society.

Some of the major debates in social policy will be introduced and considered, as will the various political perspectives that have informed social policy developments. Finally, the implications of these debates for health and social care professionals, particularly in terms of their role in the definition of need and its implications for dependency, is considered.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
