You will need to complete eight units. Four of these are core: promote effective communication for and about individuals; promote, monitor and maintain health, safety and security in the working environment; reflect on and develop your practice; promote choice, well being and the protection of all individuals.
You then need to complete four units (from a choice of 105). This extensive range of options covers a wide range of work roles accross health and social care and includes units specific to mental health, drug and alcohol misuse, youth justice, working with volunteers and managing challenging behaviours.
If you are employed in the social care sector anywhere in the UK the four core units are mandatory. If you are employed in the health care sector you need to take two core units, two optional units and a further two units from either the core or optional groups.
