I found it really helped me to understand the knowledge requirements.

This book supports candidate working towards their SVQ or NVQ Level 2 to consider the skills and knowledge they need to apply best practice.

The knowledge specification for each of the core units is discussed providing the candidate with the information they need to evidence the unit. The importance of upholding social care values such as respect, individuality, empowerment and diversity is emphasised.

Practice examples and exercises assist the reader to recognise how to apply their knowledge.

A chapter on portfolio building assists the reader to grasp how this book will assist them in their SVQ or NVQ.

 

The skills that each worker should employ are described enabling the reader to put into context the reasons why they are asked to work in certain ways.

These books do just what they say on the cover – they support candidates for particular SVQ or NVQs to support others in their work.

Contents include:

  • Understanding your role in the NVQ
