Overview

Please Note

This is a school-college partnership course.  We can only accept online applications from Glasgow City school students. If you attend a different school please use the Contact Us button to get in touch.

If you're interested in working with children or adults within the care sector, this course is an ideal first qualification.  

You will consider how life experiences and social influences affect people and consider the impact this has on care practice. Through examining sociological concepts you’ll determine how social influences affect people’s life chances. You will explore the psychological theories that enable care workers to understand the behaviour of their service users. 

You will learn about child protection and the various categories of abuse and neglect which necessitate intervention. You will become familiar with the legal framework, policies, procedures and agencies which are involved in child protection.  

You will consider the mental health continuum and gain knowledge of how mental health problems affect individuals and others, and investigate the services available to people with mental health problems.
