This qualification is designed for learners who want to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence required to manage practice and lead others within children and young people’s services. It is particularly suitable for individuals who already have, or are preparing to take on, greater responsibility within care, support or community-based settings.
The qualification helps learners strengthen their understanding of effective leadership, management and professional practice. It supports the development of skills needed to guide teams, maintain high standards of care and contribute to positive outcomes for children, young people and their families.
Learners can follow one of two pathways depending on their role and career goals. The Management pathway is suited to those with responsibility for leading teams, managing services and overseeing day-to-day practice. The Advanced Practice pathway is designed for experienced practitioners who want to deepen their professional knowledge and take greater responsibility for complex practice without necessarily moving into a management role.
Overall, the qualification provides a valuable progression route for those looking to advance their career and strengthen their impact within children and young people’s services.
