Ethics and Values in Social Care

About the Ethics and Values in Social Care Certificate

Strong ethics and values are essential to effective social work. In fact, in this profession they are probably the two most important factors to consider. Due to the nature of the situations that social carers encounter, these individuals need to have a comprehensive understanding of what is right and wrong and how best to approach tricky situations.

This course is spread across six engaging modules. These units cover topics ranging from values in practice and moral philosophy to self-determination, oppression and respect. Altogether this distance learning course should take approximately 150 – 200 hours to complete, however at learndirect, we encourage our students to work at their own pace.

Who should study this course?

This course is aimed at students who are looking to work in the care sector. The course is also suitable for individuals who already hold positions in social care and are looking to develop their practice and advance their career.

As with all of our home learning courses here at learndirect, you do not need any previous accreditations in order to apply. All we ask is that you have an interest in social care, access to the internet and the motivation to engage in home study.

What happens after the course?

By the end of this home learning qualification you will have a fundamental understanding of the morals and ethics involved in professional social care. You will be able to channel these new skills into your existing career, or use them to find a new job.

If you enjoyed studying towards this distance learning qualification, you may choose to study another course. You may ever choose to embark on our Access to HE Diploma in Social Work and study social work at university. Jobs in social care include but are not limited to:

  • Social worker
  • Youth worker
  • Child psychotherapist

A Huge Shout-Out to the Amazing Courtney!

I honestly can’t recommend Courtney enough! She was so friendly, lovely, fun and incredibly helpful from start to finish. She made the whole joining a breeze and made me feel supported every step of the way. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and her kindness, patience and positive attitude really stood out. It’s so lovely to deal with someone who genuinely cares and goes out of their way to help. Courtney is an absolute credit to the team, and I’m so grateful for all her help and support. Thank you, Courtney!

Speaking with Scott on the phone today…

Speaking with Scott on the phone today makes me wonder why I'm delaying this opportunity for my career which I have withheld for so many years. I have also announced that I can have an interest-free payment for 6 months with lower payment options, which Scott assisted me to get the best deal possible for me, and I really appreciate his support and dedication to this process. I’m glad I spoke to him today about My decision for the future of my career.
