HNC Social Services* has been developed by SQA to replace the HNC Social Care. It is a nationally recognised qualification and a valued award for people who want to work in a variety of social service settings, supporting individuals with varying needs.
You will gain an understanding of the values and principles of social care and learn how to integrate those values with necessary skills and knowledge; including the importance of anti-discriminatory practice in line with the National Care Standards and Scottish Social Services Council Codes of Practice.
Successful completion of the award will enable you to gain access into employment within a social service setting and will meet the registration requirements of the Scottish Social Services Council.
*Subject to approval
