Unit 2: Working in Health and Social Care (exam) Learners explore what it is like to work in the health and social care sector, including the roles and responsibilities of workers and organizations, the services, and safeguarding procedures to support vulnerable clients. Unit 5: Meeting Individual Care and Support Needs (assignment) Learners focus on the principles and practicalities that underpin meeting individual care and support needs, which are the foundation of all the care disciplines. The assignment is based on ethical principles of care including care, compassion, competence, communication, courage, and commitment.
