Course Description
This programme will help you to become more effective in many areas of your work, from understanding how to prepare a healthy diet and how nutritional values will support the people you care for. If you are looking to enhance your career development in care, this programme will give you the opportunity to look at parts of the job you may not currently be involved with.
The programme is divided into three core modules, each concentrating on an important aspect of health eating and nutrition. This is designed to be used as reading material to support workshop style delivery or as a flexible learning package, which you can work through at your own pace.
Each module asks you to complete a number of structured questions and activities to ensure that you have absorbed the required underpinning knowledge and to provide evidence for core skills assessment. The Activities and Assessments Workbook that is included in your learning pack contains all of these questions, as well as exercises and activities for revision to reinforce your learning. All of these must be assessed by your Tutor/mentor.
