Preparing for Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care (PLA)

Level 4 Preparing for Leadership and Management in Health and Social Care qualification consists of the following three units:

•       Legislation, theories and models of person/child-centred practice
•       Theoretical frameworks for leadership and management in health and social care
•       Leadership and management of effective team performance in health and social care services

The qualification is expected to take 14 months to complete and the qualification will be delivered through a mixture of online remote learning sessions and 1-to-1 sessions with an assessor.

The online sessions will take place once or twice a month and could be between one to three hours long. Assessments will take place with your ACT assessor or with a City and Guilds external assessor.

Written assignments and oral assessments will require learners to have good verbal and written communication skills.

Learners will need to hold a level 3 relevant Health and Social Care qualification and be working within a health and social care setting.
