Overview

Caring is a rewarding career. It allows you to make a difference in the lives of others. But it can also be challenging. One of the biggest challenges of caring is understanding the needs of the people you care for.

This is where observation comes in. Observation is a powerful tool that can help you understand the needs of the people you care for. By observing their behaviour, you can learn about their likes and dislikes, their strengths and weaknesses, and their needs.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of observational methods and studies.
  • Acquire skills in effective child observation and documentation.
  • Gain knowledge of social policy and its role in social work observation.
  • Learn basic health observation techniques for providing holistic care.
  • Understand clinical management observation strategies for improved caregiving.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
