This award is assessed on the delivery of health and social care to clients. It includes both direct care (where the focus is hands-on care) and enablement care (where the focus is on the development and maintenance of the client’s independence.)

This award is designed to be applicable to staff who deliver physical, emotional, or enabling care to clients, whether they work in health or social care, in the public, private or voluntary sectors. Candidates will usually be delivering care in support of, and under the direction of, a colleague who is accountable in the area of practice.
