Health and Social Care NVQ 3

April 10, 2008 | By NVQ In About the NVQ |

So, once you have completed your health and social care NVQ 2 course and hopefully with commendations. I reckon it would be rude not to further your knowledge by taking the Health and Social Care NVQ 3 qualification.

This qualification is for carers delivering care and support, usually without supervision. You may even be responsible for supporting and developing other care workers. You will have some responsibility. People like Senior care workers, home based care workers would be interested in this qualification.

The Health and Social Care NVQ 3 is a level 3 qualification and is split into two areas of study and you have to choose which route to go down. You can either study:

Health and Social Care NVQ 3 – caring for adults
Or
Health and Social Care NVQ 3 – Caring for Children and young people

Whichever route you take you have to take four compulsary units and then a further four units which you can choose.
According to City and Guilds the compulsary units are as follows:

Promote effective communication for and about individuals
Promote, monitor and maintain health, safety and security in the working environment
Reflect on and develop your practice

If you are studying the adult pathway then you have to study:
Promote choice, well being and the protection of all individuals (adults)

If you are studying the Children and Young People pathway then you have to study:
Promote the well being and protection of children and young people ( Children and Young People)

For your optional units, the choice is even wider. You have to choose four options and you have 105 topics to choose from. Again, not all establishments will offer all of them, but it will be topics like Youth justice, Mental Health, Drug and alcohol misuse, Protection of individuals from abuse and harm, support individuals to live at home. Again in future chapters I will try and list all of them.
