- Supporting Children and Young People with Additional Support Needs
This is designed to enable learners to gain knowledge and understanding of additional support needs of children and young people and how to meet those needs in practice in relation to current legislation and policy. The unit will also enable learners to explore agencies and professionals engaged in offering support to children and young people with additional support needs and their families.
- Community Learning and Development: Working with Young People
This unit is designed to enable learners to recognise and explore the key processes which influence the transition through early, middle and late stage adolescence and to explore the nature, purpose and contexts in working effectively with young people in a community setting. The learner will gain a critical understanding of physical, social and cognitive elements within the adolescence journey, as well as exploring key government policies which support the well-being of young people in Scotland. From this there will be a particular focus on the resulting strategies which inform best practice in youth work.
