Course overview
The Principles and Practices of Care course will be of interest to any practitioner whose role involves elements of care or whose clients are cared-for individuals. A study of care roles and activities will enable them to appreciate how care is undertaken and the impact that being cared for can have.
Many people caring in an informal capacity (for example, those caring for relatives or working as voluntary carers) often approach care without the benefit of underpinning knowledge and skills; with this course they will study the application of basic practice as well as the knowledge base to support it.
Anyone already in a formal care role will find the course invaluable in consolidating an understanding of the principles, ethical standards and legislation relating to care practice.
