care sector, focusing on the person-centred values and approaches required to
work with individuals in care settings.
You will study:

birth through to later adulthood

support individuals in a way that respects their needs, preferences and
wellbeing
You will develop essential employability and transferable skills, including,
critical thinking and problem-solving, effective communication and teamwork and
independent learning and research skills.
After learning about health and social care you will be able to go into a
