Overview of NVQ Level 2
This award is about direct care, where the focus is handson care (doing things for clients) and enablement care, where the focus is on the development and maintenance of the client’s independence (supporting and enabling clients to do things for themselves).

Candidates will usually be delivering care in support of, and under the direction of, a colleague who is accountable in the area of practice, although this person may not always be in the immediate vicinity while the candidate is working with clients.
The candidate would be expected to seek support, advice or assistance if they are unclear about what to do, or if unusual or untoward situations arise (for example deterioration in the client’s condition).

Awarding Body: OCR (UK).
Duration: 1 year.
