Learning Disabilities Awareness for Health and Social Care Workers Level 3

Course Description

The Distance Learning Learning Disability Awareness course aims to build on your understanding of what it means to have a learning disability and any experience you may have in this area of work. The course will suggest lots of ideas about how you may be able to help support people with learning disabilities. 

A learning disability affects the way a person learns new things in any area of life, not just at school. It affects the way they understand information and how they communicate. Around 1.5 million people in the UK have one and this means they can have difficulty: 

• understanding new or complex information
• learning new skills 
• coping independently

The course is suitable for staff who may be working in a variety of settings. It will be useful whether you are employed in a health or social care setting, a community or an education setting or whether you work in a paid or voluntary role. The effect of learning disabilities throughout the lifespan is considered, but there is a particular emphasis on children, adolescents, and young adults.

Our aim is to provide you with the best deal possible, therefore registration fee, certification fee and full tutor support is included in the course price for you.
