Course Description
The Distance Learning Understanding Substance Misuse QCF qualification helps to develop an increased understanding of these issues and the possible responses and interventions.
The course aims to: provide a nationally accredited certificated programme in a wide range of substance misuse issues and the variety of responses and interventions available, provide a flexible learning opportunity that is accessible to a wide range of learners, provide the student with knowledge and understanding that can be used by those who either personally, voluntary or professionally have a special interest in this field.
The course gives you the opportunity of personal development and occupational competence in an area identified by government policy as one requiring special attention. The overall Government’s policy is laid out in ‘Tackling Drugs to Build a Better Britain 1998’ and the ‘Updated Drugs Strategy 2002’.
This programme is a great resource for anyone interested in the subject but is particularly aimed at those who work directly and regularly with people who may have alcohol or drugs misuse problems or those who would like to pursue a career in these specific areas. This course in particular is widely used to train drugs and alcohol workers, as well as generic professionals serving young and/or vulnerable people, to support them in achieving their DANOS competences. Mapping to the DANOS competences has shown that this programme covers a broad range of relevant DANOS units.
The course also provides comprehensive “underpinning knowledge” for the substance misuse modules of the NVQ and SVQ Level 3 Health and Social Care. The qualification has been mapped to the Drugs and Alcohol National Occupational Standards (DANOS) and the NHS Knowledge and Skills Framework. It helps people to develop their knowledge, skills and competence in the following DANOS units: AA1 Recognise indications of substance misuse and refer individuals to specialists, AB2 Support individuals who are substance users, AB5 Assess and act upon immediate risk of danger to substance users, AD1 Raise awareness about substances, their use and effects, AF2 Carry out assessment to identify and prioritise needs.
