About Child Health and Social Care
You will spend time in valuable work placements in different care settings related to your chosen course, such as nurseries or care homes. Your time at college focuses on developing your knowledge in relevant topics such as children’s learning and development, safeguarding, anatomy and physiology and equality – taught by staff who are industry professionals.
#YourCAVC
All care courses have a big emphasis on work placements to make sure you get the practical experience to develop your employability, CV and career prospects. Our Employability team works hard to find the best range of settings for student placements including nurseries, schools and a wide choice of NHS settings.
