**This course is primarily designed for face to face learning with you attending your lessons for the specified hours within the validation document. However, there may be periods of study where the government advises TEC Partnership that it is not safe to open campuses or there is limited access due to social distancing measures. If the campus is closed TEC Partnership will deliver your sessions online and offer you the necessary support and resources remotely. If there is limited access due to social distancing measures a blended model will be adopted with some lessons happening in small groups and others happening using online sessions and support. We will make decisions on the delivery hours for each programme as government advice becomes clearer. For the placements in your programme, TEC Partnership will do everything it can to ensure you have the opportunity to complete the placement element of your programme and/or potentially, where possible, amend the programme removing the requirement for placement (or part of it) if there is likely to be difficulty**. Social Care workers play a pivotal role in the support and care of vulnerable children and adults within a rapid changing society. There has never been a more poignant time for those wishing to develop a career within the social care sector or for those to who already work within the sector to undertake study which will provide them with the essential skills, knowledge and practice experience to gain formal qualifications in Social Care. The current pandemic has notably had a detrimental impact upon the Social Care workforce and our communities. A significant increase in referrals and accessing services has identified the importance of the social care sector and its workforce as pivotal components in the promotion of societal health, wellbeing and Care delivery. The FdA Social Care programme aims to equip students with knowledge surrounding Contemporary Issues within Social Care, interventions utilised and the importance of care delivery. The work-based learning element will allow students to gain practical experience within sector, with opportunities to upskill and continuously progress during their learning journey, establishing links between theory and practice during study and within future employment.
