Health & Social Care - Progression Year

This course gives level 2 students a basic introduction to the core principles and issues within Health and Social Care provision. Additionally, it will help students to achieve a good level of understanding for progression onto level 3 courses in related subjects, whilst also supporting progression into a health and social care work environment at level 2.

Students will study and be internally assessed on the following units across the year:

• Equality, diversity and rights in health and social care
• Human growth and development
• Safeguarding and protection in health and social care

Learners must pass the unit assessments for the 3 mandatory units that will be marked and assessed internally and externally.

In GCSE English Language and Maths, a minimum of a grade 3 in one and a grade 2 in the other plus some GCSEs at grades 3 or 4

Many students find that the year gives them thinking space and helps them to decide what they want to do in the future. On successful completion you can move onto the next stage of study at the College, find an apprenticeship or go into employment. Your Guidance Support Tutor will explore all of your options with you and help you decide what’s right for you.
