The Cambridge National in Health and Social Care introduces pupils to the specialist knowledge and skills needed to work in various care settings. Underpinning the qualification is a focus on core values and communicating with individuals so as to maintain their dignity and sense of being valued.
This qualification will assess the application of Health and Social Care through their practical use. It will provide pupils with essential knowledge, transferable skills and tools to improve their learning in other subjects with the aim of enhancing their employability when they leave education, contributing to both their personal development and future economic well-being. Cambridge Nationals in Health and Social Care will equip pupils with sound specialist knowledge and skills for everyday use. It will also challenge all pupils, including high attaining pupils, by introducing them to demanding material and skills; encouraging independence and creativity; providing tasks that engage with the most taxing aspects of the National Curriculum (including Values of Care and the current legislation requirements and the importance of softer skills such as communication skills to ensure individuals right to independence and dignity).
