Health and Social Care enables our students to understand the impacts of surrounding factors and life events that can have both a positive and negative impact on human development and to analyse how these factors affect day to day lives and future health and wellbeing. Students will explore how humans develop throughout life stages and factors that could impact this development physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially.
Students will develop knowledge and understanding of different health conditions which can affect individuals’ health and everyday life. To support this, they will develop an awareness of ways health and wellbeing can improved and how varying barriers can be overcome.
Health and Social care provides an insight into the varying services within both health and social as well as other types of support that individuals can access to support them in living a healthy and fulfilling life. Students will develop an understanding of the different Care Values within Health and Social Care and the role they play within providing care for individuals.
Students will develop a greater understanding of the needs of individuals and the services that can provide care and support and develop a greater understanding of the world we live in and the impact of it on health and wellbeing.
Overall, the subject will create a greater awareness of the factors that impact on health and wellbeing of individuals and develop knowledge that can be applied by students themselves in their own and others’ lives.
