Overview

As a health and social care practitioner, you’ll likely interact with relatives and visitors on a regular basis.

This aspect of your role can be very rewarding, but it can be challenging at times. This short course will help you to understand what family members and friends are experiencing when visiting someone they care about in a health and social care setting and how this can have an effect on behaviour and mood.

The course will suggest ways in which you can support the individual during a visit, and also make the experience a positive one for their family and friends.

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.
