This qualification is designed for supervisory or management roles and cover managerial duties in addition to the assessment planning and review of individuals' care needs. Candidates will be expected to have either management or supervisory responsibility for other staff or a high level of autonomy in developing individual responses to the assessed needs of service users. Candidates will be assessed against four core units:

• Use and develop methods and systems to communicate, record and report
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of healthy and safe practices in the working environment
• Take responsibility for the continuing professional development of self and others.
• Develop practices which promote choice, well being and the protection of all individuals plus four further units (from a choice of 46 units) that cover a wide range of work roles across health and social care.

It is very important that candidates meet the above criteria, otherwise they will find generating evidence for this award extremely difficult and it should be noted that if a candidate withdraws or is withdrawn from this programme, the decision may have an organisational impact.
