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.

A massive thank you to Solomon and the…

A massive thank you to Solomon and the management team for all your support, encouragement and understanding in helping me secure my place on the Paramedic Science course. Although I’ve struggled with Maths and had doubts about progressing, Solomon encouraged me to believe in myself and take that next step. I really appreciate the affordable payment arrangement, the zero-deposit option and the fact that my 40% deposit has been kept in place. Solomon really is King Solomon! As the Bible tells us, King Solomon was renowned for his wisdom, and you certainly stand by your name. Your patience, wisdom and understanding have made a real difference. Thank you to the entire management team as well. I wish you all continued success, happiness and blessings in life. Highly appreciated and highly recommended!

Excellent Customer Service from Jaz – Payment Issue Resolved

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Jaz from learndirect's Customer Support Team for her professionalism and exceptional assistance in resolving a recent payment issue. On 30 October 2026, I made a payment of £679.01 to settle my outstanding course balance under a promotional offer. Although the payment was deducted from my bank account, it was not reflected in my Atom LMS payment history, and I received no confirmation or receipt. After sending several emails without receiving a response, I became increasingly concerned and frustrated. On 3 November, I contacted customer support through Atom LMS and was assisted by Jaz. Jaz was courteous, understanding, and professional throughout our conversation. She requested proof of payment, listened to my concerns, and promptly referred the issue to the finance team. Most importantly, she assured me that she would investigate the matter and provide an update that same day. True to her word, Jaz followed through on her commitment. Within a few hours, she confirmed that my payment had been located and correctly applied to my account, leaving an outstanding balance of £0 with no further payments required. Although I was disappointed with the initial lack of communication and the inconvenience caused, Jaz demonstrated the professionalism, accountability, and commitment to customer satisfaction that I believe every educational institution should strive to maintain. Her willingness to take ownership of the issue and ensure its resolution restored some of my confidence in learndirect's customer support. Jaz is truly an asset to learndirect, and her excellent service deserves recognition. Thank you, Jaz, for your outstanding assistance and for honoring your commitment. Your efforts are sincerely appreciated!
