This book has been specifically written for staff who work with children or young people 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.

The practice examples all relate to children’s services enabling the reader to recognise how their own practice can be used to evidence their own competence.

The knowledge and skills requires as a member of staff working with children and young people are fully discussed.

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.
