  • Is this course for you?

    Children and young people are amongst the most vulnerable in our society when it comes to the impact of adverse circumstances on their lives. Adverse childhood experience can impact on the development and mental health of children and young people that may persist into adulthood and affect their life chances.

    Learners are required to successfully complete 3 mandatory units.

    This is a knowledge-based qualification with an internally assessed and externally assured portfolio of evidence.

  • Required qualifications

    A good level of literacy is required in order to complete these qualifications – reading, writing and comprehension, as these are knowledge-based qualifications.

    You need to be able to understand what you have read within the learning materials and answer the assessment questions in your own words and in full sentences.

  • What skills will I develop?

    This qualification will provide learners with an opportunity to develop an understanding of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) relevant to their current or future roles and will equip them with basic understanding of techniques for preventing and addressing ACEs in practice.

    The objectives of this qualification are to enable the learner to:
    • Explore childhood and family structures
    • Explore ACEs and understand potential outcomes for children enduring ACEs
    • Understand the role of the practitioner supporting children impacted by ACEs
    • Develop strategies to improve outcomes for children affected by ACEs.

  • Careers

    This qualification is designed for learners wishing to progress to a wide range of further learning and job roles such as nursery staff, teachers, health/social workers across health and social care, children and young people, nursing, public services and education and training.

  • English and maths

    You should have a good level of English to complete the course. However, English and Maths is not formally assessed as part of your course.
