This book is for staff work with adults and are working towards
their SVQ or NVQ Level 3.
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.
Using realistic and applied examples the reader can see how their own work can
be used to evidence their own competence.
The knowledge and skills required as a worker at this level are fully discussed
including an insightful chapter on professional development.
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.
