Social Care in Community Care

Since the 1970s the provision of services and support for people who are affected by problems of ageing, mental illness, mental handicap or physical or sensory disability to be able to live as independently as possible in their own homes, or in "homely" settings in the community, has been a key issue facing social workers.

About Social Care

In this Social Care course you will receive an introduction to the problems which have inhibited the development of community care since the 1970s. This course also will provide you with a greater expertise and knowledge in relevant areas of the commissioning of services.

It will explore areas of key legislation with application to current practice, and examine various methods of contracting and its processes, in order to best assist the population in need.

I have recently completed my Access to…

I have recently completed my Access to Higher Education Diploma in Science online with learndirect and achieved Distinction grades. As a mother with family responsibilities, studying online gave me the flexibility to continue my education and work towards my dream of going to university. Returning to study after a break was challenging, but learndirect provided me with the opportunity and support I needed to succeed. The course helped me improve my scientific knowledge, research skills, academic writing, and confidence. The assignments were challenging, but the feedback from tutors helped me develop and achieve my goals. I am very proud of completing this qualification with Distinction, and I am grateful to learndirect for helping me take this important step towards higher education and my future career. Thank you learndirect for being part of my journey. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a flexible route into university.
