About the Personal Development in Health and Social Care settings course

The course introduces the concepts of personal development and reflective practice, which are fundamental to adult social care and health care roles. This course is aimed at those who are interested in, or new to, or working in social care settings with adults.

This course identifies those standards that influence the way in which adult social care is conducted. The unit will enable learners to consider the benefits of reflection with regard to both learning and work activities, and the connections with the development of knowledge and skills.

Learners are encouraged to consider the benefits of feedback as part of the reflective process.

Learners will also consider their own personal attitudes and beliefs, and ways of ensuring that these do not obstruct the quality of their work.

The benefits of a personal development plan with regard to the development of knowledge and understanding will be examined and learners will be given information with regard to sources of support.

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.
