Why Should You Take This Course?

According to the Mental Health Foundation, around 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. The economic cost of mental health issues in the UK was estimated to be £94 billion per year, including costs related to healthcare, lost productivity, and social support.

Mental health issues have a significant impact on the workplace. In 2023, around 12.8 million working days were lost due to work-related stress, depression, or anxiety in the UK. The NHS Long Term Plan, announced in 2019, committed to an additional £2.3 billion a year for mental health services in the UK by 2023/24. In the financial year 2019/20, adult social care spending in England was approximately £22.1 billion, according to the UK government.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the importance of mental health and social care. Lockdowns, social isolation, and economic uncertainties have contributed to increased mental health challenges. The UK government has been emphasizing the importance of mental health through initiatives like the NHS Mental Health Implementation Plan, which aims to increase funding and accessibility of mental health services.

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.
